Who is the queen of the archetypically English village of Tilling? Is it the widowed Lucia with her devoted courtier Georgie Pillson, with her command of Italian, her knowledge of the stock market and her ambitious snobbery? Or is it Mapp, the self-styled queen of Tilling, whose features are corrugated by chronic rage at the prospect of her upstart Lucia and her hanger-on? A deliciously entertaining, wickedly exciting war of garden parties, bridge evenings and staggeringly simple little dinners. Two of the most formidable ladies in English literature collide – elegantly, maliciously and amusingly. Let battle commence!

The audio of the million-selling book - Pete McCarthy's hilarious journey in search of his Irish roots.

McCarthy's tale of his hilarious trip around Ireland has gained thousands of fans all over the world.

Pete was born in Warrington to an Irish mother and an English father and spent happy summer holidays in Cork. Years later, reflecting on the many places he has visited as a travel broadcaster, Pete admits that he feels more at home in Ireland than anywhere. To find out whether this is due to rose-coloured spectacles or to a deeper tie with the country of his ancestors, Pete sets off on a trip around Ireland and discovers that it has changed in surprising ways.
