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.

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.

and escapist delight
It would be difficult to say quite what it is about this audiobook that is so mesmerically wonderful. i've listened to it repeatedly. Familiarity just makes it more comforting- like a warm blanket.
It's a picture of a perfect world; a group of people living in a beautiful little town 'Tilling' (Rye really, as everyone knows, in Sussex) All the charecters have enough money to live comfortably, and servants to do the hard work so they have all day to plot against each other- living lives of constant point-scoring, petty meanness and one-up-manship.
We're still waiting for Blackstone Audio and Audible to bring us the sequels...

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
