This welcome addition to E.F. Benson's hugely popular Mapp and Lucia series finds Major Flint in need of a new servant, Miss Mapp in need of a summer tenant, and Quaint Irene in need of a pint of bitter. Romantic entanglements stir the still waters of Tilling society, cunning plots are laid, and unforeseen complications arise.; Who is doing what to whom with a bottle of sesame oil? What is the truth behind the great Tilling chocolate cake mystery? Why does Major Flint need a loaded elephant gun? Did Miss Mapp really poison the padre? Are Diva Plaistow's days as a single woman numbered? How will Mt Wyse measure up as a man of action? Oh yes, and what really happened to Lucy?; Find the answers to these and much more in Major Benjy, the latest addition to the Mapp and Lucia canon by best-selling author, Guy Fraser-Sampson. Perfect reading for followers of Benson's original novels and sure to be equally loved by P.G. Wodehouse fans, this is a pitch-perfect and deliciously enjoyable social satire of an England long gone but not forgotten.
