Queen Lucia

Welcome to Riseholme, a picturesque English village ruled by the indomitable Mrs. Emmeline 'Lucia' Lucas. With her pretension to culture and her iron grip on social activities, Lucia reigns supreme—until her authority is challenged by gurus, opera singers, and rebellious neighbors. The first book in E. F. Benson's beloved Mapp and Lucia series is a masterpiece of witty social satire.
