Devotees of E.F. Benson's books on the people of Tilling will not be
disappointed in this sequel. From cricket matches, Christmas lunches and
Roman villas, the lives of the residents of Tilling are laid bare once
again with all their small-village craziness. Not only Tilling, but also
the residents of Risenholme, and friends from London, all come to
Tilling to play a part in pre-war village Britain. Once again, Elizabeth
Mapp tries to prove to the world that she is right and Tilling is wrong
in their love for Lucia. All the past characters are here including Mr
and Mrs Wyse, Quaint Irene, Diva, the Padre as well as Janet and
Foljambe and there is a new character to invade the peaceful and
tranquil lives of the residents whose identity confounds and confuses
them.
