Gaul was divided into three parts. No, four parts - for one small village of indomitable Gauls still held out against the Roman invaders. BOOK 8 The Romans have invaded Britain but one village still holds out against them. At his British cousin Anticlimax's request, Asterix and Obelix set off to help with a barrel full of magic potion.

Reviews

A great comic series proving that children's literature isn't limited to prose. * Time Out *
It may be more than 50 years old, but it's still very funny * The Week Junior *
