ooooo, ok

i've been reading this at the moment and its about some of the arthurian legends but made a bit easier to understand for people my age. It's called 'Arthur High King of Britain' by Michael Morpurgo

but i've got a feeling that the series 5 scriptwriter shave read it because these quotes were in it:

'He was the bane of my young life'

'I have sown the seeds of my own destruction'

(both from the series 5 trailer)

It's about a boy who is being swept away to certain death by the sea, but he is rescued by an old man and his dog, the old man is Arthur, King of Britain. Arthur then tells the boy about his life (the different arthurian legends but a bit easier to understand).
