Sharply observant and wickedly funny, E.F. Benson's six Mapp and Lucia novels satirize the upper-middle-class social climbers in 1920s and '30s rural England. Games of bridge and cups of tea fuel hilarious gossip and vindictive plots a-plenty. It is a masterfully sustained spotlight on the minutiae of village life - a clever and ultimately heart-warming series that seems tailor-made for audio. Volume 1 contains the first three books.

Georgina Sutton could read anything and I’d enjoy listening, but paired with the genius of EF Benson, you have the perfect listening experience. Enjoy!

Superb stories, beautifully read

Finding this excellent rendition of these enjoyable stories was a happy surprise! These books are old favorites, and there are some readers of them I don’t enjoy, but this reader is superb! On to Volume 2!

Terrific rendition!

Thank you so much for these two volumes.

Now I need recordings of the excellent fanfic written by so many “in the style of the originals by EF Benson.”

Encourage me to hope, Audible!

E.F. Benson’s books are satire in a way not matched by any author. Georgina Sutton’s narration is perfection.

Unparalleled

Map and Lucia are a lot of fun to listen to. Especially at night when you can’t sleep.

I have been waiting for unabridged recordings of the Lucia novels for years. Every so often I would search “EF Benson” for them, and at last they are here. The narration is absolutely perfect, with just enough (but not too much) acid. Perfect lockdown listening, equally enjoyable now, as we renew acquaintanceship with the outside world and all its follies.

Yes, as one observer notes, both Mapp and Lucia are no better than they should be, but the discomfort arises bc we too aren’t much better, inside, even if we would need truth serum to admit it. While social norms have changed (!) since the 1920s, human nature has not, and the only sure remedy is to laugh. Bravo to Edward Frederic Benson and Georgina Sutton (Now if audible will only release EF’s Dodo books…)

Note: the chapters have no headings so for your reference, the three books start at the following chapters respectively
1: Book 1: Queen Lucia
42: Book 2: Miss Mapp. Preface
85: Book 3: Lucia in London

…lest we relegate these books to period pieces, detailing the social foibles of the last century’s rather empty-headed comfortable class. Lest we imagine we’re above all the petty rivalries, inane jealousies and pointless social competition that make these books so mischievously funny. These days, Facebook and Twitter just make it all worse.

Georgianna Sutton makes Benson’s faultless prose sound even more perfect.

Ok, Let’s Be Honest…

What a bargain...hours and hours of entertainment. A wry and humourous account of times gone by, recalling the delightful PBS series. Brilliant narration.

Totally excellent!

It’s the original Real Housewives. Jealousy, gossip, scandals, ruthless social climbing and ever shifting from friendship alliances.

Lucia is fascinating and the reader gets to read her mind

If you squint, you can see 2024 in these social comedies. (I need 15 word for this comment. This will fulfill the requirement.)

Marvelous Lucia.
