About the book
During a violent thunderstorm, a strange fortune-telling soothsayer turns up in the Gaulish village, drawing Asterix's friends into his web of enticing deception. In the midst of general confusion, Asterix is unable to convince his fellow villagers of the soothsayer's deceit - whose warnings of foreboding are sure to rip the Gaulish village apart.
