Penguin Classic Edition with an introduction by Lynne Truss. Larger sized B format (130 x 198 mm). The book was first published in 1932. A hilarious and merciless parody of rural melodramas. “I saw something terrible in the woodshed…. When sensible, sophisticated Flora Poste is orphaned at nineteen, she decided her only choice is to descend upon relatives in deepest Sussex. At the aptly named Cold Comfort Farm, she meets the doomed Starkadders; cousin Judith, heaving with remorse for unspoken wickedness; Amos, preaching fire and damnation, and their sons, lustful Seth and despairing Reuben; child of nature Elfine; and crazed old Aunt Ada Doom, who has kept to her bedroom for the last twnty years!” IN STOCK FOR IMMEDIATE DESPATCH
