at the end of the period - E.F.Benson's Mapp and Lucia novels (the first was written in 1920)
Queen Lucia
Miss Mapp
Lucia in London
Mapp and Lucia
Lucia's Progress
Trouble for Lucia
I recently viewed the Mapp and Lucia tv series here in Sydney. Excellent!!

I hadn't come across EF Benson prior to that, he's now on my TBR list.
