Sinopse

E. F. Benson s beloved Mapp and Lucia novels are sparkling, classic comedies of manners set against the petty snobberies and competitive maneuverings of English village society in the 1920s and 1930s. " The Worshipful Lucia" (1935; published in the UK as "Lucia s Progress)" and "Trouble for Lucia" (1939) are the last two novels in Benson s series. They chronicle the ongoing battles of his famous characters Mrs. Lucia Lucas and Miss Elizabeth Mapp in the idyllic seaside village of Tilling, which proves too small to contain both of them. While both are hypocritical snobs, Lucia is animated by marvelous delusions of grandeur and Mapp by insatiable curiosity and chronic rage; their epic collisions rock their small society and provide the narrative engines for Benson s gloriously farcical masterpieces."
