A handsome daredevil, mouth set in surly obstinacy ready to take on all comers, teachers, parents, warring chiefs from other tribes - does this teenage image of passive-aggressive behaviour look familiar? Add to that the gauntlet thrown down by the extract on the front - "everyone's heard of King Arthur But no-one's ever heard the truth...." and it's no wonder my ...
