Published in 1920, 'Queen Lucia' is the first novel in E. F. Benson's 'Mapp and Lucia' series, which consists of six books. Set in the fictional village of Riseholme, the story follows Emmeline Lucas, known as Queen Lucia, as she navigates the social dynamics and artistic pretensions of her gullible neighbors. The novel features her sycophantic friend Georgie Pillson and rival Daisy Quantock, with various comedic incidents, including the arrival of a famous prima donna and a mysterious guru, threatening Lucia's social dominance.
