| 1 | Lucia in London (Unabridged) | E. F. Benson |
| E.F. Benson wrote "Lucia in London" in six weeks and it was published in 1927. Emmeline Lucas, known to all as "Lucia", and her husband, Peppino, acquire a second home in fashionable Brompton Square in London from a deceased Aunt. When they move there for the season, Lucia's 'subjects' in Riseholme seethe with envy and outrage that she has deserted them for more illustrious circles, where her snobbism and blatant ambition reach new heights. "Lucia in London" is British satire at its best and treats the listener (and indeed the audiobook performer) to an amusing cast of upper-class stereotypes, who behave badly but do no one any harm. Helen Lloyd and Spoken Realms have also published "Queen Lucia", and "Miss Mapp" the previous two books in the Mapp and Lucia series. |
