This well-loved copy of Stella Gibbons’ “Cold Comfort Farm” is a delightful satire of the rural novel genre that was immensely popular in the early 20th century. Published in 1932, it pokes fun at the melodramatic conventions and clichés of the time through the lens of the orphaned Flora Poste, who arrives at the dilapidated Cold Comfort Farm to live with her eccentric relatives. Gibbons’ witty prose and sharp observations brilliantly lampoon the works of authors like Mary Webb and D.H. Lawrence, while also offering a hilarious commentary on the societal norms and class divides of the era. Despite its age and wear, this edition remains a cherished gem for collectors and readers alike, a testament to the enduring appeal of Gibbons’ clever and irreverent humor.
