ENTIRELY FABULOUS E. F. Benson (1867-1940) Decades before the antics of Patsy Stone and Eddie Monsoon in AB/FAB, audiences were convulsed by the rivalry between Mapp and Lucia, characters in a series of books written by ED/FRED, Edward Frederick Benson, the English author. These are hilarious tales of a group of English small town characters, each of whom is as eccentric as unforgettable. Beside the formidable Miss Mapp and the central character of Lucia who affects the ability to speak Italian, but is confronted twice to prove it, there are Georgie Pillson, Lucias fey gentleman companion, Diva, Mr. and Mrs. Algernon Wyse, wealthy snobs who constantly refer to Algernons sister- the COUNTESS Faraglione (Georgie calls her Ferra-did-le-oni), Quaint Irene an artist who lives with a six foot tall woman servant and rides a motorcycle, and the Padre who affects a Scottish accent and calls his mousey spouse, wee wifey. And many more! These tales are indeed ENTIRELY FABULOUS.
