Taken out of school at 15 years old to join my Father's troupe of acrobats on tour with Boswell's Circus in Southern Africa; I was untrained as an acrobat and learned the basics on the two weeks' boat journey from Southampton to Cape Town. I also played alto Sax and Clarinet in the circus band. I guess I'm an entrepreneur; it was easier in the 1950s-1970s to succeed without formal qualifications such as a university degree or even a couple of A Levels. I was also one of the youngest JPs in the Inner London Juvenile Courts thanks to advice from the Master of then Rolls and support from Lady (Elspeth) Howe.DOREEN TOVEY lived in a 250-year-old cottage in Somerset, the ideal setting for her bestselling books.
