GOSPORT, ENGLAND, February 07, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Author Steven John Davis announces the publication of Excalibur: My Destiny, a children's adventure that reimagines the legend of King Arthur through the lens of 1950s Britain. The story follows ten-year-old David John Nelson, a boy inspired by the Eagle comic and its hero Dan Dare.

After escaping local bullies, David discovers a hidden subterranean world beneath a hollow tree—the Great Hall of King Arthur. There, he is entrusted with the true Excalibur, a powerful wooden sword, and charged with protecting the realm. Alongside his friend Martin, David faces supernatural challenges, local gangs, and the villainous "Stourlink Mekon."

The story culminates at Wychester Sports Stadium, where David must prevent an assassination attempt on the Prince, ultimately proving that true heroism lies in character rather than weapons. The book blends Arthurian chivalry with mid-century space-age imagination to inspire readers of all ages.

Steven John Davis is an author dedicated to storytelling that honors British mythology and the spirit of the 1950s. Inspired by his youth, the Eagle comic, and his respect for the Royal Navy, Davis crafts stories that encourage courage, imagination, and wonder in young readers.
