Stella Gibbons' novel is a wickedly funny portrait of British rural life in the 1930s. Flora, a recently orphaned socialite, moves in with her country relatives, the gloomy Starkadders of Cold Comfort Farm.
‘Very probably the funniest book ever written … a brilliant novel along classic lines’ – Julie Burchill in the Sunday Times
‘Delicious … Cold Comfort Farm has the sunniness of a P. G. Woodhouse and the comic aplomb of Evelyn Waugh’s Scoop’ – Jill Neville in the Independent
