Description

Sussex, though near London and nowadays extensively urbanised, has a rich heritage of traditional local stories, customs and beliefs.

Among many topics explored here are tales linked to landscape features and ancient churches which involve such colourful themes as lost bells, buried treasures, dragons, fairies and the devil.

There are also traditions relating to ghosts, graves and gibbets and the strange powers of witches.

This book, when it was first published in 1973, was the first to be entirely devoted to Sussex folklore.

This new edition contains information collected over the last thirty years, updated accounts of county customs and, alongside the original line drawings, is illustrated with photographs and printed ephemera relating to Sussex lore.
