About the Book
The Legend of Old Lord Netherby is an imagined tale depicted here in the form of nine illuminated manuscripts. These were created for use in the independent feature film, 'NETHERBY NAPS,' which was made by the three creators of this book. The film tells the story of a playwright who is struggling to finish a play about this legend, which possess the moral dilemma that had been created when the medieval folk of Netherby Town condemned their local lord for his cowardice in war and made a ritual of drowning his effigy in the moorland bogs ever since.

I also composed musique concrète and lighting for dancer Anna Halprin. I then majored in philosophy at UC Berkeley and filmmaking at USC in Los Angeles. I married Gloria Riefman and we had two sons, Paul and Christen. I made short films for Graphic Films and Churchill Films in Los Angeles – three of the best known being The Voyage of Odysseus, The Hundred Penny Box and A Kite Story. I made one independent feature film, Netherby Naps, in Yorkshire England, which took over 30 years to complete, as no deadline had been chosen. My partner since 1969 has been the author Leah Miller, who worked with me on the films that were made since then... and together we raised her two children : Richard and Corinne.
