“Telling the bees” and other old customs reveal the folklore woven into everyday Sussex life.
About the book
A voice shaped by the Downs and Weald
Louise Maskill gathers a wide-ranging selection of traditional Sussex words, phrases and expressions, many preserved long into the twentieth century by the county’s relative geographical isolation.
The A–Z glossary is followed by anecdotes, stories, rhymes and curiosities, placing the dialect in the context of Sussex customs, rural life and local history.
