β¦ Synopsis
With an Introduction and Notes by Dr Keith Carabine, University of Kent at Canterbury.
These three wonderful comic novels drolly record the battle between Lucia and Elisabeth Mapp for social and 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 artβexhibition are thrilling encounters that ensure Tilling is always on 'a very agreeable rack of suspense'.
