Description

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

Book 15

Julius Caesar tries psychological warfare to defeat the little Gaulish village and sends expert troublemaker Tortuous Convolvulus to set friend against friend. He almost succeeds as jealousy spreads and the Gauls become suspicious of each other!

Can Asterix and Obelix, with the expert aid of the druid Getafix, outwit the weedy but wily Convolvulus and get the village back to normal?
