About the Author

Guy Fraser-Sampson is a well-known best-selling non-fiction author, and a longstanding Mapp and Lucia fan. His previous Tilling novels, Lucia on Holiday and Major Benjy, have been extremely well-received. Lucia on Holiday was a No. 1 Hatchards Bestseller and featured on Open Book (Radio 4) with Mariella Frostrup. He has received high praise from Benson devotees, including Alexander McCall Smith ("Lucia is back! This is a wonderful new adventure for our magnificent heroine, written with all the style and humour of Benson himself. A triumph. Uno, due, tre ... read it!") and Gyles Brandreth ("More Mapp and Lucia - what bliss! Major Benjy on the rampage - what joy!").

Reviews

"Fraser-Sampson's parody is excellent, especially the introduction of Noel Coward and John Gielgud to crank up the already considerable period camp to levels of near-hysteria. Forbidden sexual longing abounds: Quaint Irene the butch painter with her crush on Lucia; Olga the star soprano with her pash on Lucia's husband; Major Flint after everything in a skirt. But the main drama is the grandes dames plotting to thwart each other. Mapp and Lucia are ghastlier than ever, which makes the end surprisingly and powerfully touching." --Daily Mail
