Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Explore the Myths, Mysteries & Magic at the Heart of Sussex FolkloreEvery May Day, Hastings comes alive with the Jack in the Green festival. Drums echo, streets fill with Morris dancers and green-clad revellers, and the towering cone of leaves displaying Jack's wizened face takes centre stage.But where did it begin? Some trace Jack to the pagan Anglo-Saxons of Sussex. Others to the eighteenth century, when the festival was first recorded. The truth, as the Untruth Seekers have discovered, is stranger than either account - and Sussex has a great many more mysteries where that came from.From fearsome giants and cackling witches to plucky fairies and ancient beasts, these are Sussex's oldest legends retold for modern readers - with all the strangeness the official record tends to leave out. Step into Sussex, where history and myth entwine, and discover the unexpected stories that have shaped this often-overlooked corner of England. Knuckers in the chalk pools. Pharisees in the field lanes. Jack in the Green - Sussex folklore is older in some places than it appears, and considerably stranger. This item is printed on demand.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In Sussex and Kent's ancient woodlands and chalky cliffs, the past never stays buried - and neither does its treasure.Nestled in the picturesque hills of Sussex, the town of Rye hides a turbulent past beneath its charming façade. By the 18th century, it had become a notorious refuge for smugglers, dominated by the ruthless Hawkhurst Gang.When sharp-witted barmaid Sarah Woodward and down-on-his-luck bargeman Felix Fenwick stumble upon a treasure map at the Mermaid Inn in Rye in 1746, they see a chance to change their lives. But this map leads to the fabled hoard of the Cinque Ports-a treasure cursed by centuries of blood and betrayal.Pursued by the Hawkhurst Gang and watched by customs authorities, Sarah and Felix embark on a perilous journey through Sussex and Kent's hidden history. Will they uncover the treasure's true value, or become its next victims.
