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.

Every 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.
