Queen Lucia: NOVEL By E. F. Benson (original text) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781530513482)

Her aide-de-camp in these matters is the somewhat effete Georgie Pillson and the chief competitor for her 'crown' is Daisy Quantock. The scandal of the Guru, the psychical goings on with Princess Popoffski and the arrival into the sleepy village of a famous Prima Donna all conspire to threaten her supremacy...
