The swan called Pooh that gave its name to the most famous bear in the world; the beach that inspired the theme tune for Desert Island Discs; the village that moved six miles; the site of Vesuvius and Misery.

These are just some of the fascinating facts in this lavishly illustrated new book about West Sussex based on a series of stunning maps made by 2000 artists and researchers as part of the West Sussex Parish Maps Project.

This is the first ever book on a county's parish maps.

In the tradition of earlier maps they are beautifully decorated, combining contemporary information with local history, folklore and wildlife.

This handsome hardback book, of 300 full-colour pages, retailing at £35, is offered at the discount price of £15 plus £9.00 postage and packing to UK addresses.
