About

Join best-selling writer KATE MOSSE, as she muses on the the seasonal delights of Sussex, her home county, at a special event to celebrate the release of her new non-fiction book AUTUMN. Exploring nature, folklore, memory and history, Autumn is a love letter to Sussex and an atmospheric portrait of the season of change.
In Autumn , Kate Mosse celebrates the season of shifting light and crisp mornings. This magical journey through the turning year captures the ever-changing colours of the autumn landscape, the crunch of leaves underfoot, the drift of migrating birds and the last warmth of the sun. Starting in her own garden, Kate leads us out to the misty Fishbourne marshes of her childhood, with their vast skies and wading birds, and into ancient yew forests/ steeped in myth and mystery. We travel across the harvest fields, follow the river bends of the Ouse and the Lavant, and join the crowds at Lewes on Bonfire Night, where the air crackles with flame and torchlight.
