A historic tale set in the Lake District.
Based on a real-life scandal in the early nineteenth century, the story of a con man whose plans are upset when he falls in love with and marries a beautiful, penniless young woman.
This is the story of an imposter and bigamist, a self-styled Colonel Hope, who travels to the North, where eventually he marries "The Maid of Buttermere", a young woman whose natural beauty inspired the dreams and confirmed the theories of various early nineteenth century writers.
