Die atlete van die antieke wêreld kom in Athene bymekaar vir die Olimpiese Spele. Asterix en Obelix en die ander Galliërs skryf ook in, maar hulle beleef ’n terugslag: Die drink van towerdoepa is verbode, want dit is ’n opkikker. Kan die Galliërs die Olimpiese Spele wen sonder towerdoepa? En wat is die spesiale bestanddeel van die doepa wat staan in die hut waarvan die deur nie mooi sluit nie?

Asterix by die Olimpiese Spele is die 12de boek in die gewilde Asterix-reeks.

Jare gelede is Vercingetorix by Alesia verslaan en Gallie is amptelik oorwin...'n teer onderwerp waaroor die Alesiers (of sal ons se Alesjiers) nie graag praat nie. Tydens hierdie oorwinning het Vercingetorix sy skild aan Caesar se voete neergewerp (letterlik), en sedertdien is dit nooit weer gesien nie...En word dit dus 'n gesogte voorwerp waarna nie net Caesar nie, maar ook ons Galliese helde soek. Hulle soektog neem hulle na interessante plekke en elkeen het 'n storie om te vertel oor wat van die beroemde skild geword het. Hul begin te wonder of hul ooit in die regte hoop houtskool soek! Dalk is die skild nie so ver weg van hulle soos hulle dink nie...

Julius Caesar is vasbeslote om Asterix-hulle se woud te ontbos en te omskep in 'n moderne woonkompleks vir die Romeine met die naam die speelplek van die Gode. Cosinus is die talentvolle jong argitek wat die projek onderneem en hy dryf die slawe om die bome uit te trek en te begin bou. Eers probeer Asterix-hulle die bouproses verhinder, maar besef dat die slawe benadeel word. Die Speelplek van die Gode word gebou en die Romeine trek in. Hoe gaan die Galliers hul geliefde woud met wildevarke terugkry?

Met Die beste kinderverse van Tienie Holloway kan jonk en oud van voor af die vreugde van Tienie Holloway-verse ontdek en in die proses terugkeer na die eenvoud van doodgewone dinge – padkos, pannekoek, pantoffels wat slof, touspring, ’n windpomp, waatlemoen, ’n toktokkie wat klop, of sommer net appelkooskonfyt op ’n sny brood!

Vandag is daar amper nie ’n generasie wat nie hier en daar ’n versreël of strofe uit ’n Tienie Holloway-vers onthou nie. Ongelukkig is haar bundels dun gesaai en nog net hier en daar op ’n biblioteekrak in ’n plattelandse dorp te vinde. Die beste kinderverse van Tienie Holloway is saamgestel deur Wendy Maartens en van pragtige volkleurillustrasies voorsien deur Alida Bothma.
