The author of eleven novels and short-story collections, four works of non-fiction and three plays, Kate Mosse, returns to her native Sussex in this exploration of local folklore, nature and creativity. Kate takes us on a magical journey through the season, describing the ever-changing colours of the autumn landscape, the crunch of the leaves underfoot, the drift of migrating birds and the last of the sun’s warmth for the year.
In her love-letter to Sussex she takes us to the marshlands of her childhood; she spots plovers and Goldeneye duck in the reed banks, and along the sea wall glimpses purple sea-lavender, Brent geese and curlews…
‘I remember the chill autumn days, the air heavy with the smell of bonfires and dusk, damp mulch of leaves underfoot’
