Download or read book Miss Mapp written by E. F. Benson and published by . This book was released on 2017-07-25 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the third of his six "Mapp and Lucia" novels, Benson shifts the scene from the village of Riseholme to that of Tilling. Here the social queen is not the redoubtable Lucia Lucas of the first two books but rather one Elizabeth Mapp, who rules with rather a heavier and more judgemental hand. Mapp is one of the great unlikeable-but-fascinating characters in all of comic literature. She is nosey, pretentious, mean spirited, and small minded. Yet she's as fascinating as a cobra. Benson, of course, is setting readers up for the great battle of the titans that ensues in the fourth book, when Lucia moves to Tilling and goes head-to-head with Mapp. Before doing that, however, Benson gives free rein to Miss Mapp in this novel, coincidentally introducing the denizens of Tilling. We meet the whiskey-and-golf-loving Major Benjamin Flint, his cohort Captain Puffin (who drowns in a bowl of soup), the eccentric and dandified Mr Wyse, who marries pretentious Susan Poppitt MBE, the unabashedly butch artist "Quaint" Irene Coles, and hapless and bumbling Godiva Plaistow, along with the affected Scotch-speaking Padre and his "Wee Wifie." These memorably eccentric characters more or less comprise Tilling society.
