In the little town of Tilling, nothing escapes Miss Mapp. From her window she watches the street, notes her neighbours' comings and goings, and spins a story out of every detail, often a false one. Between games of bridge, tea invitations and petty jealousies, she wages a quiet war to remain queen of the town.
E. F. Benson gently mocks these tiny lives, where the smallest trifle becomes an affair of state. Miss Mapp has become a cult figure of British humour.
With its sharp dialogue and light tone, this novel is easy to read in the language you are learning.
