It is a romance based on a group of historical characters and set in the late 17th century in Devon and Somerset, particularly around the East Lyn Valley area of Exmoor.Set in the 17th century in the Badgworthy Water region of Exmoor in Devon and Somerset, England. John Ridd is the son of a respectable farmer who was murdered in cold blood by one of the notorious Doone clan, a once noble family, now outlaws, in the isolated Doone Valley. Battling his desire for revenge, John also grows into a respectable farmer and takes good care of his mother and two sisters. He falls hopelessly in love with Lorna, a girl he meets by accident, who turns out to be not only (apparently) the granddaughter of Sir Ensor Doone (lord of the Doones), but destined to marry (against her will) the impetuous, menacing, and now jealous heir of the Doone Valley, Carver Doone. Carver will let nothing get in the way of his marriage to Lorna, which he plans to force upon her once Sir Ensor dies and he comes into his inheritance. But John has other plans...

    ACTING is a vast and relatively unknown subject... for many. And yet millions are fascinated by it. Why? The answer is because this all-encompassing human art form is as fundamental to the self-actualisation of a human being as reading, writing and maths. We sense this. We know it. Surely the possession of such knowledge would be of great advantage in any profession, in any walk of life, and not just the preserve of stage and film? Why are we not taught these playful and transformative skills in school? This book uncovers why, and reveals top acting secrets, techniques and games that will dramatically change the way you see yourself and the world around you. 'This is a wonderfully helpful book regarding the importance of adults learning to play again, in order to free themselves from the oppressive everyday tramlines we follow... Josephine is a great inspiration to many people and this book will show you why.' Peter Richardson - founder of the COMIC STRIP troupe
    'Sculptress of the creative spirit, enkindling in even our most timid selves a passion for play, interconnectedness, listening, ritual and generosity on all of life's stages,Josephine is an indelible force of love and wisdom, at once ready for a fit of laughter or all hell to break loose. For her teachings and humanity, my immeasurable gratitude! Watch out for that fourth wall; you might fall through it reading this book.' Seumas F. Sargent, Performer, Blue Man Group, Berlin 'You're a rock, an inspiration, a star-I wish to the heavens I'd had teachers like you when I was at school! My God, I could have done anything.' Richard Down - a player 'My life changed beyond all recognition during the last four years coming to your classes with many, many challenges. The safe loving environment you created has been a great source of strength-even when I have been unable to attend! It has been a very important part of my liberation.' Louise Gough - a player
