"A Mapp & Lucia Glossary" is a light-hearted companion to the six much-loved novel written by E.F.Benson and set in Riseholme and Tilling between the "Queen Lucia","Lucia in London"," Miss Mapp","Mapp and Lucia", "Lucia's Progress" and "Trouble for Lucia."
Compiled by an admirer of E.F.Benson's comic novels, the Glossary is a simple alphabetical reference which seeks to describe the main characters, their homes, lives and preoccupations. It also tries to cast light upon the numerous references -literary, biblical, classical, political and topical - by a writer of Benson's age, class and education for those of us to whom Miss Wethered and Sir Sidney Lee are not now exactly household names. It also contains Quizzes!
The Glossary is intended to be a pleasant guide and companion on your visits to E.F.Benson's wonderful world of Riseholme and Tilling and the usually benevolent rule of Elizabeth Mapp and Lucia Pillson.
