A woman bard? That's unheard of in Ancient Gaul—but the mothers in Asterix's town think it's about time to call in Bravura. After all, not only is Cacofonix a terrible musician, but he's not educating their children properly either. At first, the men are horrified. But, it turns out Bravura hits the right notes musically, and proves very valuable when Julius Caesar sends in his secret weapon: a group of female legionnaires. Caesar thinks the Gauls will be too noble to fight the women.but Bravura has no such scruples! And, somehow, even Cacofonix succeeds in coming into his own. 8 1/2 X 111/4. all in color
