Highways and Byways in Sussex by E. V. Lucas ~ Full Audiobook [history]

Highways and Byways in Sussex by E. V. Lucas audiobook. Genre: history Highways and Byways in Sussex is E. V. Lucas's warm, observant journey through an English county of chalk downs, market towns, seaside resorts, and quiet lanes where history seems to press close to the present. Framed as a wanderer's progress shaped largely by railway lines, Lucas enters Sussex in the west at Midhurst and zig-zags eastward through places such as Chichester, Arundel, Petworth, Horsham, Brighton, Lewes, Eastbourne, Hastings, and Rye, pausing wherever a church tower, castle wall, inn sign, or stretch of heath sparks a story. This is not a strict guidebook of timetables and practicalities, but a literary bouquet: a blend of local legend and literary echoes, architecture and antiquities, countryside character and coastal bustle, and the small, telling details of everyday life. Along the way Lucas introduces the reader to Sussex's shifting landscapes and long memory, from Roman roads and medieval strongholds to village customs and the natural life of fields and forests. Frederick L. Griggs's illustrations, paired with the book's roaming curiosity, make the county feel both intimate and freshly discovered.
