About the Book: Asterix and Obelix rescue a mute Pict named MacAroon and escort him to Caledonia (modern Scotland) to reunite him with his beloved Camomilla. But the scheming chieftain MacCabeus, backed by the Romans, plans to marry her and seize the throne—a plan thwarted through feats, magic elixirs, a mischievous Loch Ness monster, and united Picts, The Gaul. In Asterix and Obelix’s Birthday, the duo turns fifty amidst a series of humorous short tales featuring friends like Panacea, Edifis, and the pirates, culminating in a feast hilariously sabotaged by poisoned wine that backfires on Roman centurions. In Asterix and the Missing Scroll, Caesar’s publisher insists he omit a chapter detailing his defeats by the Gauls. A mute scribe steals the scroll and delivers it to the Gauls, who enlist their druid’s former teacher to preserve the truth orally, ensuring the suppressed history survives.
