Cold Comfort Farm

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Cold Comfort Farm is a comic novel by English author Stella Gibbons, published in 1932. It parodies the romanticised, sometimes doom-laden accounts of rural life popular at the time, by writers such as Mary Webb. Gibbons was working for the Evening Standard in 1928 when they decided to serialise Webb\'s first novel, The Golden Arrow, and Gibbons was given the job of summarising the plot of earlier installments. Other novelists in the tradition parodied by Cold Comfort Farm are D. H. Lawrence, Sheila Kaye-Smith and Thomas Hardy; and going further back, Mary E Mann and the Bronte sisters. In 2003, the novel was listed at number 88 on the BBC\'s survey The Big Read.
