Huge papier-mâché models of the little warrior and his blimpish, pigtailed companion Obélix stare down from Christmas displays in department stores. More than 3,600,000 copies of eight hard-cover Astérix comic books have been sold, and several American publishers have proposed an English-language translation for the U.S. Cafés even stock...

Yet his turning back to boyhood memories of India-and his personal trip out East during a long leave from his business-do not seem to be triggered by any Blimpish nostalgia for the good old days. In recollection, his early existence as the only son of the British adviser to a maharaja of the 19203 is outwardly pure pukka sahib, inwardly the struggle of a lonely boy to live up to what he thought was expected...
