Among my favorite books, although, typically, the last couple aren’t as good as the first four. All are in the public domain in Life + 70 (and in the MR library); the first two are pd in the US with the third entering pd next year.
I prefer the reading order as in the series when I first read it, with
Lucia in London coming second ahead of
Miss Mapp; I think the flow is much better.
