Saints in Sussex is a compelling collection of religious poetry and plays by the celebrated English author Sheila Kaye-Smith. Set against the rolling hills and historical backdrop of the Sussex countryside, the work intertwines the spiritual and the pastoral. The volume is divided into two distinct sections: a series of evocative poems dedicated to various saints and feast days, and two sacred plays-The Child Born: A Nativity Play and The Shepherdess: A Passion Play.

Kaye-Smith, known for her deep connection to the Sussex landscape, brings a unique lyrical intensity to these works. The poems celebrate the liturgical year, grounding spiritual devotion in the tactile reality of rural England. Meanwhile, the dramas offer a poignant retelling of the Nativity and the Passion, reimagined through a local lens that highlights the author's mastery of atmosphere and character. Saints in Sussex stands as a testament to the intersection of faith, heritage, and regional identity, offering readers a rich tapestry of devotional literature that remains a significant example of early 20th-century religious writing.
