The big history of Sussex in one little volume. Sussex may be a narrow county from north to south but it includes a huge wealth of sometimes surprising history. A Little History of Sussex is much the same ? it packs a whole lot of history into a relatively small book. It covers the prehistoric to present with a swift, but engaging and lively approach. Seasoned and prolific Sussex author Kevin Newman provides a guide to the county's past for those who like their history neither stuffy and dull nor devoid of depth and content. He provides an invigorating approach to the tale of the county that was gateway for the Normans, playpark for playboys of the Royal family and still today contains residents who, at times, very much 'wunt be druv!' AUTHOR: Kevin Newman is the author of over a dozen books on Sussex as well as the co-writer of a range of KS3/GCSE textbooks and other educational resources. He contributes regularly to a number of local publications such as Sussex Life, and has written various history supplements for the Argus newspaper, including Brilliant Brighton and Super Sussex. When not writing he is the lead teacher in Humanities and PSHE at a small school in Sussex and enjoys being a tour guide and owner of a history consultancy, All-Inclusive History. He is currently studying for a PhD. 30 b/w illustrations
