Présentation de l'éditeur
Meet Mapp and Lucia - two of the most unpleasant, disgraceful women you're ever likely to encounter, in E.F. Bensons carefully observed tale of 1930s village life and social ranking. Emmeline Lucas (known as Lucia to her friends) is emerging from mourning following the death of her husband. Pretentious, snobbish and down-right devious, she feels her home town of Riseholme offers no longer challenges and decides to holiday in the town of Tilling. She rents 'Mallards' from Miss Mapp. The two women clash immediately. Miss Mapp is used to being top of the social ranking in Tilling and there is no way she is going to let a vulgar outsider claim her position. So begins a battle of one-upmanship, peppered with queenly airs, ghastly tea parties and unnerving bridge evenings as the two combatants attempt to out-do each other to win social supermacy. The pompous Lucia and malignant Mapp are characters you will love to hate, wonderfully penned by E.F. Benson. Darkly comic and witty, it is soon to be a new BBC series written by Steve Pemberton.
Quatrième de couverture
'These magic books are as fresh as paint. The characters are real and therefore timeless' Nancy Mitford, The Times
Miss Elizabeth Mapp reigns supreme over the village of Tilling...until the advent of Mrs Emmeline Lucas, or 'Lucia' to her friends. No one could compete, surely, with Lucia's formidable armoury: her duchesses, her Italian, her financial speculations, her celebrated recipe for Lobster à la Riseholme. But Mapp will not relinquish her supremacy in local society so easily, and battle is joined between these two indomitable queens and their rather fickle allies.

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. Russell, Brian (illustrateur). Spectacular, unique copy signed by the cast of the Channel Four TV version. Signed by leading members of the cast (to Edward), sadly all now passed with the exception of Denis Lill (Major Benjy); Prunella Scales, Geraldine McEwen, Nigel Hawthorne, James Greene, Geoffrey Chater each adding their own 'catch phrase: 'au reservoir', 'Quai Hai' etc. The LWT production in the mid 1980s i arguably the best of the adaptations, filmed in Rye and Winchelsea and with the excellent theme by Jim Parker. A fine copy of the 1983 reprint of the 1967 edition, in a very good non price clipped d/w. 316pp. Signed by the Compiler. N° de réf. du vendeur 063123
