This absorbing collection of Sussex carols and customs, seasonal recipes and literary tales, plays and pastimes, re-examines the rich heritage of Christmas past from around the county. Stories range from the Anglo-Saxon era to the Second World War, encompassing urban and rural Sussex, and featuring secular and religious celebrations of rich and poor, which is sure to enthrall both long-time residents and newcomers alike. From tales of Brighton Pavilion under snow and old festive recipes to well-known seasonal songs, such as Good King Wenceslas and the traditional Sussex wassail, A Sussex Christmas provides the reader with a seasonal anthology of the county and will be a treat for all.
