Legendary translator Anthea Bell began translating Asterix in 1969, eight years after the books first appeared in French.


Anthea is responsible for some of Asterix's finest puns and it was she who changed the name of Obelix's small, evil-tempered dog from Idéfix to Dogmatix, and transformed Panoramix into Getafix.
