The Complete Mapp and Lucia Novels

Livre numérique

E. F. Benson

Edité par Toutapprendre / Rare Treasure Editions

The Mapp and Lucia novels feature humorous incidents in the lives of (mainly) upper-middle-class British characters in the 1920s and 1930s, many of whom do not work for a living, who vie for social prestige andone-upmanshipin an atmosphere of extreme culturalsnobbery. Several of them are set in the small seaside town ofTilling, closely based onRye, East Sussex, where the author Benson lived for a number of years and (like Lucia) served as mayor.
