This is a story about the farm before Flora Poste arrives, a 'prequel' if you like. There's only one story in this collection about Cold Comfort Farm. I had never read any of Stella Gibbons' other books, so I was thrilled to see the re-publication of 'Christmas at Cold Comfort Farm', a series of short stories by Gibbons, published in 1940, eight years after her classic appeared.įirst things first. I re-read it recently, and it still made me laugh. It's funny, arch, mannered and has a particularly strong authorial voice. Not as funny or as sharp as Cold Comfort Farm, but with a period charm and readability.Ĭold Comfort Farm is one of my favourite books.
Summary: Romantic short stories from the 1930s.
