Excalibur (2010)
“Visitors had arrived from many lands, some coming by dragon, some by balloon, others by road or river or sea, a few by flying carpet or enchanted pumpkin. Two princes even arrived by parcel post. The whole world saw the coronation as the first day of a new and exciting era, more new and exciting than any new and exciting era had ever been before.
Probably the least excited person was the young King himself. He was a modest boy and until recently had lived a simple uncomplicated life. Apart from... being carried off as a newborn baby and rescued by two poor but honest peasants who had raised him as their own and then got killed leaving him alone with a pig called Geoffrey who had been struck by lightning leaving him alone with nothing but a very tasty dinner of pork and then being stuff ed into a sack and sold to the Cook at Camelot who had discovered that he was fireproof, the boy had led an uneventful life. Aft er all, being carried off and ending up in a sack with the taste of roast pork in your mouth was the sort of thing that happened to young children all the time in those days.MoreLess
