E F Benson's 1927 novel -Lucia In London- is one of six in which the author chronicles the worlds of Riseholme and its social climbing leading resident, Lucia. It is a sharply observed and highly enjoyable comedy of manners; light-hearted and beautifully written.

The Trouble for Lucia was written by E.F Benson in 1939. It is part of a series of novels that feature hilarious incidents in the lives of upper-middle class people in the 1920s and 30s.
