Description

Gaul was divided into three parts. No, four parts — for one small village of indomitable Gauls still held out against the Roman invaders.

Asterix: Asterix and Caesar's Gift is the 21st book in the series. Upon being demobilised from the Roman army, Legionary Tremensdelirius receives the title deeds to the little Gaulish village. Soon, however, he swaps them for a drink in a tavern, and the landlord Orthopaedix, his wife Angina, and their daughter Influenza set off to claim their rights.

Strange to say, Asterix and his friends don't see it quite the same way.
