Summary: Dried apricots
Comment: The first Tilling rather than Riseholme novel sets things up for the tremendous clash with Lucia. It is extremely funny and bears re-reading and re-reading. Especially the sudden appearance of a lot of dried apricots in the middle of a bridge party. Tilling is the English seaside town of Rye (not a hamlet) . The characters include Susan Wyse (not Barbara)and the legendary busybody Miss Mapp herself . Miss Mapps are all too present in the year 2000 -Buy it

Summary: Miss Mapp
Comment: E.F. Benson's books are as fresh and fun today as they were in the onset. We may not have sleepy little burgs with bridge parties being the height of the social warfare battleground, but we still have those hilarious people who can scheme and plot their way, unwitting of the itelligence of others, to what they see as the pinnacle of society. When Lucia meets her nemisis in Miss Mapp and moves into Miss Mapp's "territory" feathers fly, society scrambles, and their world rocks. I recommend this book, for if we don't see ourselves we will at least see some hilarious friends.

Summary: Such fun
Comment: Miss Elizabeth Mapp lives in the English village of Tilling and there she attempts to be part of the cream of Tilling's society. With a steady diet of gossip, Miss Mapp and her circle of fellow residents flavor their lives with eyes on the goal of status. Benson's sharply observed and satirical tale is part of the Mapp & Lucia series, which pokes fun at English society of the times. Like an early ancestor of "Dynasty" or anything else produced by Aaron Spelling, the Mapp and Lucia stories are big fun for any Anglophile or fan of camp literature.
