Edward Frederick Benson was a British author, best known for his Mapp & Lucia series, published in the 1920s and 1930s. The six novels in the series proved to be popular with readers from the start, due to their searing, human honesty and wit. An incredibly prolific writer, E. F. Benson published a book almost every year from 1893 until his death in 1940, including novels, biographies, memoirs, short stories and history books. His last book, Final Edition, was delivered to his publisher ten days before his death.
