Synopsis:
Caesar's Commentaries on the War in Gaul are a smash hit, once the publisher convinces him to suppress a chapter on his defeats at the hands of the indomitable Gauls. But Gaulish newsmonger Confoundtheirpolitix spirits a copy away. The publisher, fearing that the Gauls will reveal all, strives mightily to get the scroll back. Having only an oral tradition, the Gauls have a venerable Druid commit the scroll to memory, then swap it back on terms of freedom for the Gaulish newsmongers. The tale is finally told to Goscinny and Uderzo, who turn it into a series of entertaining stories.
