Fans of  The Floods will already have enjoyed Colin Thompson’s rather quirky sense of humour.  They will also be pleased to know that he has begun a new series called Dragons and it combines Colin’s wacky sense of humour with the Legend of King Arthur and the heroes of Camelot.  The first book in the series is called Camelot. 

The blurb below indicates that Colin Thompson’s version of the “true” story might not be quite like the one we already know…but what else would you expect from Colin Thompson!

In the days when dragons roamed the earth turning people into toast, a mighty King ruled the world. This King lived in the great castle of Camelot in the beautiful island of Avalon. Guided by the great wizard Merlin, this King became a legend and his name was Arthur.

The trouble with legends is that every time their stories are told they become more and more fabulous, so useless twits are often turned into superheroes.

This is the true story of King Arthur, who was not a superhero. He was a nasty little spoilt brat who was totally up himself.

Or was he . . .?
