[EAN: 9780709126171], Gebraucht, sehr guter Zustand, [PU: Robert Hale, London England], NON-FICTION/SUSSEX/WAY OF LIVING/CHARACTERS/LIFE IN THE COUNTY, Jacket, It is the past that causes Sussex to be different both in aspect and event from her "nine and thirty sisters fair". The flint and the chalk have been of exceptional importance in the life of the county, and the adhesive clay of the Weald isolated for many years the native-born people from their fellow-countrymen, with the result that old ways and old customs survived there - and in some cases still survive - long after they had died out in other parts of the country, and this despite the undue popularity of the Sussex coast. Many of these old ways of living and thinking, and the "characters" they produced, have been gathered together into this book. But this is by no means a book about the past alone. For while Mrs. Meynell pays particular attention to the past, she brings it vividly to life in the present, relating all Sussex life to its proper background. Well known as the author of many delightful books about the countryside and country peple, Mrs. Meynell has lived for the greater part of her life in Sussex. No one knows the county better, few know it as well, as Mrs. Meynell reinforces long acquaintance with great learning, a keely observant eye, and a charming pen. She has given us in this book an intimate and personal account of a highly individual county. Illustrated with B/W photos. Map. Slight browning to end pages. Wear and tear to D/J. Some pieces of D/J missing. Price clipped. But a very good copy. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall, Books<
