Sa chúigiú leabhar sa tsraith Dialann Dúradáin, leanaimid Greg Heffley arís. Ach an uair seo, scéal taobh istigh de scéal atá ann, agus tá an scéal seo scríofa ag Rowley Jefferson le moltaí cabhracha (agus moltaí nach bhfuil cabhrach ar chor ar bith) ó Greg Heffley. Buaileann muid le Rowland agus a dhlúthchara Garg. Téann said ó áit go háit i mbun eachtraíochta fíorghreannmhara chun mátháir Rowland a shábháil ón nGruagach Geal. Tá an leabhar chomh barrúil agus spraíúil sin go mbeifeá ag rachtaíl gáire!
Foilsíodh an leabhar seo ar dtús sa bhliain 1943, tráth ar chuir muintir na tíre aithne ar an mbleachtaire iomráiteach Réics Carló den chéad uair. Scéal bleachtaireachta amach is amach is ea é seo le tréithe den bhficsean eolaíochta chomh maith.
Is leabhar grafach é seo, maisithe go híontach agus lán le dathanna agus fuinneamh. Sa tsraith leabhar seo tá Asterix agus a chairde ina gcónaí sa Ghaill (sean Fhrainc) san am atá thart agus tá an scéal seo leagtha amach san aimsir stairiúil sin. Sa leabhar seo, téann Asterix agus a chara Obelix ar cuairt chuig an Róimh le coróin labhrais Chaesair a aimsiú. Ar an mbealach tarlaíonn eachtraí éagsúla don bheirt agus insítear na scéalta seo sa leabhar. Léirítear an scéal tríd na pictúirí agus trí labhairt na gcarachtar agus cabhraíonn na pictúirí go mór leis an ngreann atá le fáil sa leabhar.
Is úrscéal eachtraíochta do dhaoine óga é seo a thaitneoidh le léitheoirí óga atá ag lorg scéal lán de mhistéir, de bhleachtaireacht agus d’aicsean.
