Description: Mapp and Lucia by E.F. Benson Mapp and Lucia are the centrepiece of E.F. Bensons series of Lucia novels, bringing together the eponymous middle-aged doyennes of polite 1930s society, Miss Mapp and Miss Lucas. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Subtly brilliant comedy of social rivalry between the wars. Emmeline Lucas (known universally to her friends as Lucia) is an arch-snob of the highest order. In Miss Elizabeth Mapp of Mallards Lucia meets her match. Ostensibly the most civil and genteel of society ladies, there is no plan too devious, no plot too cunning, no depths to which they would not sink, in order to win the battle for social supremacy. Using as their deadly weapons garden parties, bridge evenings and charming teas, the two combatants strive to outcharm each other - and the whole of Tilling society - as they vie for the position of doyenne of the town. Notes Modern classic of social manners and the comedy of envy. New introduction by Philip Hensher. Author Biography Edward Francis Benson was born in 1867 and educated at Kings College, Cambridge. Mayor of Rye from 1934 to 1937, Benson was awarded the O.B.E. and made an Honorary Fellow of Magdalene College, Cambridge. E. F. Benson died in 1940. Details ISBN0141187689 Author E.F.
