One of the BBC's '100 Novels That Shaped Our World' 'Brilliant ...
very probably the funniest book ever written' Sunday Times When
sensible, sophisticated Flora Poste is orphaned at nineteen, she
decides her only choice is to descend upon relatives in deepest
Sussex. At the aptly-named Cold Comfort Farm, she meets the doomed
Starkadders: cousin Judith, heaving with remorse for unspoken
wickedness; Amos, preaching fire and damnation; their sons, lustful
Seth and despairing Reuben; child of nature Elfine; and crazed old
Aunt Ada Doom, who has kept to her bedroom for the last twenty
years. But Flora loves nothing better than to organise other
people. Armed with common sense and a strong will, she resolves to
take each of the family in hand. A hilarious and ruthless parody of
rural melodramas and purple prose, Cold Comfort Farm is one of the
best-loved comic novels of all time. 'Screamingly funny and wildly
subversive' Marian Keyes, Guardian The Penguin Classics edition of
Stella Gibbons's Cold Comfort Farm is introduced by Lynne Truss,
author of Eats, Shoots and Leaves. If you enjoyed Cold Comfort Farm
you might like George and Weedon Grossmith's Diary of a Nobody,
also available in Penguin Classics.
