Queen Lucia and Miss Mapp collects together the first two novels of the Mapp and Lucia series by E. F. Benson, English novelist, short story writer, biographer, and archaeologist. In Queen Lucia, first published in 1920, readers are introduced to the irrepressible Lucia and her unquenchable lust for power. She is a unique and forceful character, with a dangerous charm and outrageously pretentious tastes. First published in 1922, Miss Mapp, features Benson's most popular character, the forceful and ambitious, but young and charming, Miss Elizabeth Mapp, who often terrifies those that oppose her into submission. The Mapp and Lucia series is a comical look at the world of the idle rich in small villages of England during the 1920s where the inhabitants have little else to do but spend their time gossiping and vying with each other for rank and attention. The unforgettable Lucia and Miss Mapp remain some of English literature's most fascinating and enduring characters and Benson's works continue to delight and entertain audiences with his character's humorous pretensions and manipulations. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
