A baby boy is left in a basket outside Asterix hut - who can have sumped the foundling there, and why? Childcare is something new to the Gaulish warriors, but Asrterix and Obelix do their best, although they have had more practice in thumping Romans. Childcare is also new to Crismus Cactus, Prefect of Gaul, who finds himself masquerading as a Gaulish nursemaid. Why are the Romas after the baby - and just what plot is the treacherous Brutus hatching against Julius Caesar? As usual, it's up to Asterix and Obelix, to find out...and to save the day...
