Paying Guests comedy novel by the British writer E.F. Benson , best known as the author of the Mapp and Lucia series.[1] [2] boarding house in the fictional resort town of Bolton Spa. It focuses on the eccentric collection of summer residents, mostly there to try and recover their health, overseen by the domineering former Indian Army Colonel Chase. According to a pair of crtics, "The coming together of character and situation in Paying Guests creates a comic masterpiece, worthy to stand alongside the Mapp and Lucia books".[3]
