Publisher's Summary
Sharply observant and wickedly funny, E.F. Benson's six Mapp and Lucia novels satirize the upper-middle-class social climbers in 1920s and '30s rural England. Games of bridge and cups of tea fuel hilarious gossip and vindictive plots a-plenty. It is a masterfully sustained spotlight on the minutiae of village life - a clever and ultimately heart-warming series that seems tailor-made for audio. Volume 1 contains the first three books.

If I could give it 6 out of 5, I would!
Loved it, rollicking tales, engaging characters, excellent narrator. Mapp and Lucia are deliciously wicked and almost loveable!

Benson fans will not be disappointed
This is my second listening of the novel, and Georgina Sutton reads it very well, with proper differentiation of characters' "voices".
My significant demur is that just as Jane Austen's novels should be read by a woman, EF Benson's should be read by a man.
Also Riseholme is pronounced Rizzum.

Very amusing
A contest of wills that is very funny. Though Miss Mapp is nastier, I think.
