Sid Kipper is the writing nom de plume of Chris Sugden, Norfolk Humorist. Born West Runton 1952. Studied for PhD at University of East Anglia author of Prewd and Prejudice (1994) in which the heroine Miriam Prewd spends a traumatic year of ‘Norfolk exile’. Written in his characteristic dead-pan style Prewd and Prejudice concerns itself with the Norfolk countryside, misconceptions about Norfolk and its self-depreciating folk. Kipper wrote of it -
- The national papers seemed to think that it took the mickey out of country people, while the Norfolk people thought it ridiculed Londoners!
- Probably the county’s finest ambassador who captures, "the true spirit of Norfolk, teaches it tricks, then sends it to run riot across the land".
