Acerca de esta escucha
This collection features unabridged recordings of the final three novels in E.F. Benson’s beloved Mapp and Lucia series.
Mapp and Lucia: Widowed for almost a year, Lucia has been deeply mourning her much-loved husband Peppino. Returning to society, Lucia is horrified to discover that she has been edged off her pedestal – and learns, to her horror, that Daisy Quantock is to take over her role of queen of the village fete! When a fuming Lucia decamps to the village of Tilling, how will she fare against her new opponent – Miss Mapp?
Lucia’s Progress: With Lucia's fiftieth birthday looming, she takes stock of her life's achievements – and finds them lacking. Determined to take up a new pursuit, and decides to stand for the Town Council. However, as Lucia dives into the world of electioneering, her rival Miss Mapp – now Mrs Mapp-Flint– remains dedicated to thwarting her ambitions. . .
Trouble for Lucia: Now Mayor of Tilling – and married to Georgie Pillson – Lucia must select her Mayoress. In the name of holding one's friends close and one's enemies even closer, she opts for her rival Elizabeth Mapp-Flint, hoping to keep her muzzled by gratitude. Meanwhile, Lucia is kept busy with local politics, swooping through the village on her bicycle, and attending a peculiar séance. . .
Narrated by Prunella Scales and Lisa Daniely, this collection brings to life E.F. Benson’s comic tales of marriage, mishaps and mayhem.

E. F. Benson is probably best known for his wickedly satirical ‘Mapp and Lucia’ series. A prolific writer, his works included novels, biographies and supernatural fiction. His versatility is showcased in these dramatisations and readings, which range from the hilariously comic to the horribly chilling.

'Lady B. stays to tea. (Mem.: Bread-and-butter too thick. Speak to Ethel.) We talk some more about bulbs, the Dutch School of Painting, our Vicar's wife, sciatica, and All Quiet on the Western Front. (Query: is it possible to cultivate the art of conversation when living in the country all the year round?)' If the question suggests a qualified answer, there is no doubt that the art of diary writing is alive and well and very, very funny in Devonshire in the 1920s. At least in the hands of E. M. Delafield.

Mark Gatiss ( Sherlock, Doctor Who, Game of Thrones) reads chilling tales by the unsung master of the classic ghost story: E. F. Benson. There's nothing sinister about a London bus. Nothing supernatural could occur on a busy train platform. There's nothing terrifying about a little caterpillar. And a telephone, what could be scary about that? Don't be frightened of the dark corners of your room. Don't be alarmed by a sudden inexplicable chill.

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.

When Graydon Carter was offered the editorship of Vanity Fair in 1992, he knew he faced an uphill battle—how to make the esteemed and long-established magazine his own. Not only was he confronted with a staff that he perceived to be loyal to the previous regime, but he arrived only a few years after launching Spy magazine, which gloried in skewering the celebrated and powerful—the very people Vanity Fair venerated.

The Freaks of Mayfair by E.F. Benson is a series of satirical sketches introducing us to some bizarre inhabitants of Edwardian High Society of Mayfair, which was, and still is today, the stamping ground of the very wealthy. Each sketch introduces a different type of "freak". Sir Louis and Lady Mary Marigold turn snobbism into fine art; Sarah Whitehand is the social-climbing wife of an American toilet bowl magnate, and the so-called "Grizzly Kittens", Babs Begum and Charlie Gordon, cling desperately to their youth as they totter toward old age.

Happily, Ms. Scales performs the first two novels in this volume -- Mapp & Lucia and Lucia's Progress. Hearing Scales's voice, her modulations to define various denizens of Tilling, was like hearing the voice of an old friend.
However, "Trouble for Lucia" is performed by an unknown (to this listener) actress Lisa Daniely. Daniely's treatment is a bit of a clunker. Her performance begins as if she's in an echo chamber, a jarring and off-putting effect. As her reading progresses, however, the echo either minimizes or one's ears grow accustomed to it. Other than that, Daniely's accent, her shifts in cadence and accent to portray Tilling characters, is a decent performance.
Even so, I can't help regretting that Ms. Scales didn't perform all the novels in the Mapp & Lucia series.
