Meet Emmeline Lucas, known to her friends as Lucia, the undisputed social leader of the town of Riseholme, and her husband Phillip, writer of prose poems. Risholme is also home to Georgie Pillson, who plays duets with Lucia and collects bibelots, Daisy Quantock, who has discovered an Indian Guru who will teach her meditation, Olga Bracely, the operatic soprano, and Signor Cortese composer of operas.
Edward Frederic Benson (1867-1940) was an English writer and novelist. Benson's literary calling developed while he was a student at Marlborough College. He later based his novel DAVID BLAIZE on his college years. Benson is best known for his 'Mapp and Lucia' books written in the 1920s and 1930s, although he was a highly regarded ghost and horror story writer as well. He died of throat cancer in 1940.
