Bookroo's summary

In ancient Gaul, a flying menhir leaves the druid Getaflix unable to brew his vital magic potion. As Chief Vitalstatistix faces a challenge from a Roman-backed rival, Asterix must restore Getaflix's memory. Meanwhile, a Roman spy disguised as a tree and two druids with mysterious potions add to the chaos. Will the village withstand the Roman threat, or will the rival chief seize control? The stakes are high, and the outcome is uncertain in this tale of intrigue and adventure.

From the publisher

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.
