Her best-known work is Cold Comfort Farm, which showcases Gibbons’ skills as a satirist. Her writing was admired by many of her contemporaries, including T. S. Eliot. Virginia Woolf asked Gibbons to write for a publication printed by Woolf and her husband. The humor in Gibbons' work comes through in stages: first, laughter, then the thought that she is describing people you know, and then the realization that she is skewering you, too. Gibbons was so adept at satirizing writers and writing, that the writers and critics who determine who and which works should be in the canon of English literature have still not made her or Cold Comfort Farm part of it.

“It was curious that persons who lived what the novelists called a rich emotional life always seemed to be a bit slow on the uptake.”
-English writer Stella Gibbons, born on this day in 1902.

The Penguin Classics edition of Cold Comfort Farm is on a tray table with a travel cup of coffee. The book cover makes me smile every time, it has a jersey cow nose looming large at you.
Annual re-read of Stella Gibbons' #ColdComfortFarm Given to me to read by my Granny as a teen, this book emigrated with me.

Labour's terror of Brexit is reminiscent of #ColdComfortFarm, in which Ada Doom keeps her Starkadder family in thrall by repeating that, when young, she saw “something nasty in the woodshed”.

I feel a kinship with everyone who has sketched out the family tree from the movie Cold Comfort Farm.

A dark and rickety farm house, a loopy bull, and a comically off-kilter sense of looming silliness greet you in the naive folk-style art of this book cover for Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons, in bright cheery buttercup yellow against a more sombre forget-me-not blue. Published in 1932 but set about 15 or 20 years in its own future, Cold Comfort Farm is historic science-fiction, as well as being, as a quote from the Sunday Times at the bottom of this cover claims, "Probably the funniest book ever written."
For fun in February, A-Cover-A-Day, books I love, that's all. #StellaGibbons #ColdComfortFarm #GothicSpoof #NovelHumor #TooFunny #LaughterIsTheBest #LoveConquersAll #TheHigherCommonSenseConquersAll #HistoricSciFi #MyFunnyValentine #BookSky #ThomasHardyHarHar 💙📚

I wonder if the 'There's Something In The Barn' "thing" is related to the 'There's Something Nasty In The Woodshed' "thing"? 🤔
