Sturdily bound in finely woven blue cloth lettered clearly in white on the front boards and on the spine. Very clean and tight throughout with an name in ink at the top of the front paste-down and $2.00 written in pencil; virtually unread. With light sun-fading to the edges of the the front boards and the spine. In a good plus dust jacket missing a triangular pinky fingernail-sized piece at the right-hand top corner of the spine. Evenly chipped across the bottom of the spine ends beneath "Longmans" which mostly shows. General edge-wear and some soiling and light staining to the rear panel which is blank. Inside flaps are very good without a price, but with "Made in Great Britain" at the bottom of the rear inside flap. Stella Dorothea Gibbons(1902 1989) was an English author, journalist, and poet. She established her reputation with herfirst novel,Cold Comfort Farm(1932) which has been reprinted many times. Although she was active as a writer for half a century, none of her later 22 novels or other literary workswhich included a sequel toCold Comfort Farmachieved the same critical or popular success. Much of her work was long out of print before a modest revival in the 21st century.The daughter of a London doctor, Gibbons had a turbulent and often unhappy childhood. After an indifferent school career she trained as a journalist, and worked as a reporter and features writer, mainly for theEvening StandardandThe Lady. Her first book, published in 1930, was a collection of poems which was well received, and through her life she considered herself primarily a poet rather than a novelist. AfterCold Comfort Farm, a satire on the genre of rural-themed "loam and lovechild" novels popular in the late 1920s, most of Gibbons's novels were based within the middle-class suburban world with which she was familiar.Gibbons became a Fellow of theRoyal Society of Literaturein 1950. Her style has been praised by critics for its charm, barbed humour and descriptive skill, and has led to comparison withJane Austen. The success ofCold Comfort Farmdominated her career, and she grew to resent her identification with the book to the exclusion of the rest of her output. Widely regarded as a one-work novelist, she and her works have not been accepted into the canon of English literaturepartly, other writers have suggested, because of her detachment from the literary world and her tendency to mock it. (Wikipedia) New Impression with "January, 1934" being the last date on the copyright page. With "Made iin Great Britain" at the bottom.

First Edition
First edition, first impression. The first publication in book form of sixteen short stories which originally appeared in magazines. The stories include "Christmas at Cold Comfort Farm": the author's first return to the Sussex scene of "something nasty in the woodshed" since Cold Comfort Farm was originally published in 1932. On publication the Times Literary Supplement reviewed the volume as "never less than entertaining". The dust jacket design takes the cow design from Cold Comfort Farm and adds a seasonal tree. Octavo. Original blue cloth, lettering to spine and front cover in white. With dust jacket. Minor foxing and browning to endpapers; a fine copy. Spine of dust jacket sunned, extremities slightly worn with loss to head of front cover and minor repairs to reverse, some consistent browning; an attractive and very good example of an unclipped jacket.
