4.0

I read the first of the three books contained in this anthology some time ago and found its treatment of petty squabbles and snobberies in an upper-middle class England of the 20s & 30s very entertaining.
I didn't re-read it this time round, it still being fairly clear in my memory, but, as the titles imply, silly Lucia triumphs in the second and has problems to overcome, many of her own making, in the third.

Reading these makes me wonder what little things that are of such vital importance to us would be snobberies and affectations to those of another time.
