A collaborator in ancient Gaul? Chief Cassius Ceramix has gone over to the Roman enemy. There's something very fishy going on, as Legionary Infirmofpurpus discovers when he is sent to spy on the Gauls disguised as a crab apple tree. But is that just a red herring? And what about the two concussed druids brewing colourful potions? One way or another, the fight for control of the village between Vitalstatistix and his rival is bound to be a knockout....

It's a disaster - the druid Getafix has broken his golden sickle. Asterix and Obelix go to Lutetia (now Paris) to buy him a new one. Soon they are tangling with the criminal underworld of the big city - can they outwit Navishtrix, Clovogarlix and the sickle-trafficking gang? Will Getafix ever be able to brew magic potion again?

When Caesar gives Tremensdelirius the deed to Asterixs village, he trades it for a drink in the tavern, and Asterix is not happy with the new owner. If Caesar offers a gift, be suspicious, very suspicious. Upon his release from the Roman Army, Tremensdelirius gets the deed to Asterix's little Gaulish village. But he swaps it for a drink in the tavern and soon the owner and his family are off to claim their prize. What's going to happen? Surprisingly,...

"How can Queen Cleopatra prove to Julius Caesar that Egypt is still a great nation? She promises to build him a magnificent palace within three months, and commissions Edifis, the best architect in Alexandria... Luckily Edifis has an old friend in Gaul, Getafix the druid. Getafix, Asterix and Obelix, not forgetting little Dogmatix, go to Egypt to help on the building site."--P. [4] of cover.

Two lovers call upon Asterix and Obelix to help convice their fathers to put aside their political differences and let the couple marry.
