His publisher, Libellus Blockbustus, foresees a huge success – but there’s a snag: the chapter about Caesar’s defeat by the indomitable Gauls of Armorica.

Can the Gauls make sure the truth is revealed?

On her way home, Hilda befriends a lonely wooden man, and narrowly avoids getting squashed by a lost giant.
