Review by A. A. in Sussex Notes and Queries, August, 1950:This is a comprehensive anthology of Sussex lore, a first-rate "browsing book" both for the Native and the Foreigner whose "heart is there". The Sussex-loving poets are perhaps a loyal rather than a great company but the reader will find many old friends among them - Kipling, Belloc and others - and probably meet several new ones. There is much in the book besides poetry. In fact, there is something for everybody, historical, geographical and antiquarian information, extracts from old county records, epitaphs, letters and diaries kept by Sussex characters in remote and more robust times. There is even (in keeping with the modern convention) a quiz. Miss Margaret Goldsworthy is to be warmly congratulated on the extent and success of her researches. The book is handsomely produced and fully and carefully indexed.
