Items related to Cold Comfort Farm
When the sukebind is in bud, expensively educated and recently orphaned Flora Poste decided to descend on her relatives the Starkadders at Cold Comfort Farm, which she imagines will be awful in an interesting way. Her intuition proves accurate. There she discovers Judith, alone in her grief; Amos, called by God; Seth, smouldering with sex, robust Reuben, Elfine, who needs a little polish and of course, Great Aunt Ada Doom, who once saw something nasty in the woodshed. And Flora, with her freshness and optimism, takes it upon herself to bring order into chaos.

Review:
? 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)
