E.F. Benson. He started his novel writing career in 1893 with the
fashionably controversial Dodo, which was an instant success, and
followed it with a variety of satire and romantic and supernatural
melodrama. He repeated the success of Dodo, with sequels to this novel,
but the greatest success came relatively late in his career with The
Mapp and Lucia series consisting of six novels and two short stories.
The novels feature humorous incidents in the lives of (mainly)
upper-middle-class British people in the 1920s and 1930s, vying for
social prestige and one-upmanship in an atmosphere of extreme cultural
snobbery. Benson was also known as a writer of atmospheric, oblique, and
at times humorous or satirical ghost stories.

Actually Yes about 5 weeks ago. I like besides thrillers , Victorian ghost stories and read his spooky stories. Benson was a contemporary of Montague. Rhodes James and I thoroughly enjoyed his stories. So I do believe that you owe. me an apology.

I'm quite surprised. I have found him quite hard to enjoy, but I suppose one man's meat is another's poison.
