Miss Mapp Edward F Benson

E. F. Benson's strikingly original comic creation Miss Mapp is an arch-schemer and social climber from the British town of Tilling who spends her days using opera glasses and a notebook to chart her neighbors' affairs. Among her interests are Major Benjamin Flint, whom she has been trying to marry for years, and the underhanded Miss Susan Poppit. Edward Frederic Benson was an English novelist, biographer, memoirist, archaeologist and short story writer.
