Asterix and the Golden Sickle

Story : René Goscinny

Illustrations : Albert Uderzo

Language : English

Disaster strikes in the Gaulish village when Getafix the druid breaks his golden sickle. Without one he cannot attend the annual conference of druids, or cut mistletoe for the magic potion which keeps the Roman armies at bay. Asterix and his friend Obelix set out for Lutetia (present-day Paris) to buy a new one from Obelix's cousin, the sicklesmith Metallurgix.

However, he has mysteriously gone missing, and before long our heroes are exploring the underworld of the big city. They uncover a sickle-trafficking gang with sponsors high up the Roman bureaucracy, whose shadowy business is run from below a portal dolmen in the Boulogne forest. When all is revealed and the Gauls have rescued Metallurgix, they can go home with a new sickle for the druid and the magic potions will continue to flow.
