About this listen

 Miss Elizabeth Mapp, magnificent grande dame and heiress, is always on the lookout lest her neighbors fall outside the bounds of perfect, exemplary manners. But her tightly controlled world is soon beset on all sides by interlopers, first in the disturbingly masculine form of two very different retired army officers, both of whom are anything but retiring in their conflicting aims upon her heart. Second, there appears the elegant, insidiously evil Contessa possessed of dazzling charm and diabolical designs.Public Domain (P)2001 Blackstone Audiobooks Linguistics Social Sciences Funny Witty Heartfelt Historical Humour

Critic reviews

"Nadia May does a hilarious Miss Mapp, the small-minded small-town heiress of a certain age who leads an absolutely full life spying on and attempting to best her neighbors." ( AudioFile)

Nadia May is just brilliant! Fantastic scene where she does a tipsy "United Services" in conversation with Miss Mapp. Such a crying shame that Audible Books don't have the next books in the series available unabridged.

Stunningly good narration!

I’ve listened to the abridged versions before, but this was truly fabulous….the extra information and descriptions and more humour!!

Love this unabridged version

Would you listen to Miss Mapp again? Why?

Maybe if I was ill. I don't usually revisit books unless they are firm favourites. Life's too short.

What did you like best about this story?

That it's total escapism from the demands of my daily life.

Have you listened to any of Nadia May’s other performances? How does this one compare?

I've not listened to any others. I might be tempted now, though

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Not particularly, it's more of a gentle comedy

Any additional comments?

I found this on audible after watching the dramatisation on the BBC last Christmas. It was an easy, enjoyable listen, and it's a shame that there aren't many more unabridged readings of the other novels available.

Great escapism

A really good reading of this excellent, acerbic, funny book. Highly recommended for fans and newcomers ...

Great reading of a real favourite

Benson at his sharpest and funniest; matched by Nadia May's superb, lively narration. A treat!

Wonderful!
