Read about the antics of 'Spooky Bill', a poltergeist at a house in Crawley, and learn the story of how Selsey became the home of the mousetrap. Along the way you'll meet scandalous residents, inventors, and smugglers. The A-Z of Curious Sussex is guaranteed to enthrall both resident and visitor alike. |
