About the book

Benson's Mapp and Lucia novels are sparkling social comedies centred on the rivalry between two formidable women determined to dominate their small-town social world. Lucia is cultured, ambitious and supremely confident, while Elizabeth Mapp is equally determined to maintain her own position at the centre of local society. Their battles over parties, gossip, cultural events and social prestige turn apparently trivial matters into wonderfully elaborate campaigns. Benson's affectionate satire of snobbery and social competition makes the series a classic of English comic fiction.
