About this listen

Using her best social-climbing instincts and refusing to be embarrassed, Lucia sets out to conquer London and mingle with the beau monde. Soon a secret group of 'Luciaphiles' springs up; the social climbers who make up its rank never tire of watching her get into and out of all kinds of trouble.

And dare I say that Miriam Margolyes' narration is not as good as Nadia May.......

A perfect picture of the early nineteenth century, cars are in but so are endless numbers of servants .
No room for all that chat these days ALAS.

Other days, fascinating times.

Lucia in London is one of my favourites of the Mapp and Lucia books, and I've read it a number of times. while shortening the story they chopped some of my favourite scenes, and a lot of they characterization that I find so essential to fully grasping these characters. Miriam Margoyles did a very good job bringing the characters to life, even though her Georgie came out stiff and a little dull.

Wish they didn't abridge the story
