Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Robert Poste's child is back at Cold Comfort Farm. But all is not well. Flora finds the farm transformed into a twee haven filled with Toby jugs and peasant pottery, and rooms labelled 'Quiete Retreate' and 'Greate laundrie'. It is, Flora winces, 'exactly like being locked in the Victoria and Albert Museum after closing time'. Worse, the farm is hosting a conference of the pretentious International Thinkers Group - a group made up of the 'sadistic owl' Mr Peccavi, loathsome Mr Mybug and the overpowering Mrs Ernestine Thump. And worst of all, there are no Starkadders at Cold Comfort Farm. All the he-cousins have gone abroad to make their fortunes and the female cousins are having a pretty thin time of it. Once again the sensible Flora decides to take the situation in hand. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. This First Edition and first printing hardback was published by Longmans in London in 1949. Both book and dust-jacket are in strong 'Very Good' condition - please refer to our photographs. The pages of text have survived over 70 years extraordinarily well and are certainly in 'Near Fine'. The book's cloth bound covers show fading of their dyed colour not in a uniform way but in a modern art blotchy approach. It's a mystery how. The cloth on the spine however is unaffected and the titles are in still bright silver gilt. The dust-jacket is an old fashioned thin plastic protective sleeve but it has worked well as the paper used for the jacket in 1949 Austerity England is very thin. The book has 166 numbered pages but no illustrations. The size of this paperback-sized book in inches is 7.5 x 5.0 and it weighs 0.23 kg. For lovers of Cold Comfort Farm . Flora Poste is back from page 1! As with all our sales of books within the UK, we only ever charge a flat standard delivery cost of £3.35.
