Mapp and Lucia

The fourth volume of E.F. Benson's wildly satirical take on the Edwardian English upper class. The books were recently adapted by the BBC into a mini-series starring Sherlock's Mark Gatiss.

 

Miss Elizabeth Mapp is the undisputed queen of the social scene in the village of Tilling – undisputed, that is, until the arrival of Emmeline "Lucia" Lucas, someone just as clever and determined as she is. The two women, backed by their respective coteries, clash for dominance over the local society scene.
