Beskrivning
Written and compiled by the Rev. W.D. Parish, vicar of Selmeston (pronounced 'Simpson'), the Dictionary is a fascinating insight into how we might have sounded nearly 150 years ago. This fascinating book was brought to our attention by Sophie Collins, the Schott of Sussex. An edition of the seminal Sussex work was brought out 50 years ago, with additions and expansions by one Helena Hall. Snake River Press is going back to basics, and offering an exciting new version of the Reverend Parish's original, unexpurgated work. With Lynn Truss as our guide and mentor we can't go wrong and, who knows, we may even be able to revive a few authentic Sussexisms!
