The Final Instalment in the Lucia Series

Lucia must yet again lie, trick and deceive to maintain social position as the queen of Tilling. Lucia is probably the greatest creation of E. F. Benson, a social climbing socialite from the small village of Riseholme.

A beautifully written and sharply observed comedy, exploring the social life of Edwardian high society. This novel, originally published in 1939, is being republished here together with a new introductory biography of the author.
