Centring around a particular moment in the story of the English Catholic Prep School; the world which is described has now largely disappeared. Camelot Departed recounts the tragically disintegrating career of one man. It is an account full of amusing anecdotes as well as acerbic observations of this particular English world of snobbery, backbiting and Machiavellian plotting. It tries to portray one man's vision of what might have been. In the end like the mythical story of Camelot it all goes horribly wrong.
