Benson looks back over a long and interesting life in this last volume of his memoirs: his youth as the son of Queen Victoria's Archbishop of Canterbury; his family and London snobs, literary sybils and the Lotus Eaters of Capri - where he shared a house with John Ellingham Brooks and Somerset Maugham and where his neighbours included Norman Douglas, Compton Mackenzie, Axel Munthe and Maxim Gorki. He evokes the little world of Rye, immortalised in Mapp and Lucia, where he gloried in the splendid robes of Lord Mayor in 1934, happy to end as "a big fish in a small pond". Final Edition is Benson's own final tribute to those he loved, completed ten days before his death in 1940. Benson wrote biographies, essays, memoirs and fiction, including such novels as Paying Guests and the Mapp and Lucia series, comical novels and ghost stories.
