Inhaltsangabe

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.
