Great characters
Elizabeth Mapp is an odious woman operating at the height of her game in a world beset with strict codes of conduct. The storms of rage and frustrated fury occasioned by the orchestrated oneupmanship is laugh out loud funny. I love this series.

A Classic of British literature
E.F Bensons work should be held along side Wodehouse and Mitford, both social commentary and arch dialogue abound in this classic of English life.

wonderful fun with usual sparkling wit.
Reader's voice too high pitched. She speaks too quickly so one misses parts of it.

Love this unabridged version
I’ve listened to the abridged versions before, but this was truly fabulous….the extra information and descriptions and more humour!!

Wonderful
I loved listening to this - there isn’t much of a story, but the characterisation is so clever and so funny and the reading so brilliant that I was captivated by it. Gently humorous throughout with some laugh out loud moments, anyone who enjoys PG Wodehouse will enjoy this. Much better than the recent TV series and I’m definitely downloading more of these. Perfect at bedtime, you can laugh yourself to sleep!

Stunningly good narration!
Nadia May is just brilliant! Fantastic scene where she does a tipsy "United Services" in conversation with Miss Mapp. Such a crying shame that Audible Books don't have the next books in the series available unabridged.

Very witty
An unexpected delightful find. So witty and full of the small town busy bodying written full of humour. I will immediately go on to the next in the series.

Perfectly charming A period piece
I remembered the TV series so was delighted to see the original book. I wasn't disappointed. Miss Mapp is an absolutely charming period piece that perfectly captures 1920's market town snobbery. Written with a perfect dry ascerbic wit that would put Stephan Fry to shame I would thoroughly recommend this book

Great escapism
Would you listen to Miss Mapp again? Why?
Maybe if I was ill. I don't usually revisit books unless they are firm favourites. Life's too short.
What did you like best about this story?
That it's total escapism from the demands of my daily life.
Have you listened to any of Nadia May’s other performances? How does this one compare?
I've not listened to any others. I might be tempted now, though
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Not particularly, it's more of a gentle comedy
Any additional comments?
I found this on audible after watching the dramatisation on the BBC last Christmas. It was an easy, enjoyable listen, and it's a shame that there aren't many more unabridged readings of the other novels available.

DELICIOUS !
If you have not entered the gossipy , delicious world of EF Benson - you are missing a treat!Gay Son of an Archbishop of Canterbury with a reputedly lesbian mother - do not dismiss his world as old fashioned. The TV series Mapp & Lucia with Geraldine McEwan & Prunella Scales (1985-86) is pure GOLD - enjoy !
