[Forked Radish]

Some of those who’ve used Sussex dialect in their writing: Shakspeare, Thomas Gray, Hardy, James Wight (Herriot), and Rowling.

Read as part of wider research for my own book on Sussex dialect. A sparkling little collection of old Sussex words, traditions and anecdotes, interesting for scholars and locals alike.
