«La ferme de cousine Judith» is a satirical novel by Stella Gibbons, published by France Loisirs in paperback (351 pages, in French).
Flora, a nineteen-year-old Londoner, is left orphaned and penniless. She decides to take refuge at the farm of cousins she has never met, deep in the English countryside. There she discovers the eccentric Starkadder family, locked in their own world and dogged by bad luck, and sets out to set their lives straight.
Originally published in 1932 as Cold Comfort Farm, it belongs to the Cold Comfort Farm series and won the Prix Femina-Vie Heureuse in 1934.
For readers seeking classic British comedy and satire of manners, with eccentric characters and absurd situations.
Stella Dorothea Gibbons was an English author, journalist, and poet. She established her reputation with her first 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 works—which included a sequel to Cold Comfort Farm—achieved the same critical or popular success. Much of her work was long out of print before a modest revival in the 21st century.
