Contains: Mapp & Lucia; Lucias Progress; Trouble for Lucia These three wonderful comic novels drolly record the battle between Lucia & Elisabeth Mapp for social & cultural supremacy in the village of Tilling (based on Rye). Their constant skirmishes ensure that every game of bridge tea or dinner-party church service council meeting or art-exhibition are thrilling encounters that ensure Tilling is always on a very agreeable rack of suspense.
