Trivia
Derfel bears a strong resemblance to Sir Bedivere. Like Derfel, Bedivere is one of Arthur's closest advisers and friends, is one-handed (in Welsh legends) and in many versions of the legends, casts Excalibur into the sea after the Battle of Camlann.

Famous quotes containing the word trivia:
“The most refined skills of color printing, the intricate techniques of wide-angle photography, provide us pictures of trivia bigger and more real than life. We forget that we see trivia and notice only that the reproduction is so good. Man fulfils his dream and by photographic magic produces a precise image of the Grand Canyon. The result is not that he adores nature or beauty the more. Instead he adores his camera—and himself.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“Pop artists deal with the lowly trivia of possessions and equipment that the present generation is lugging along with it on its safari into the future.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
