Cold Comfort Farm

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.

  • A Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition with French flaps, rough front, and luxurious packaging
  • Features an introduction from Lynne Truss and cover illustrations by Roz Chast
“ Quite simply one of the funniest satirical novels of the last century.”
—Nancy Pearl, NPR’s Morning Edition

“ Delicious . . . Cold Comfort Farm has the sunniness of a P. G. Wodehouse and the comic aplomb of Evelyn Waugh’s Scoop.”
—The Independent (London)
