Enjoyed this passage about how to endure playing games at school when you’re really not into doing so.

Labour's terror of Brexit is reminiscent of #ColdComfortFarm, in which Ada Doom keeps her Starkadder family in thrall by repeating that, when young, she saw “something nasty in the woodshed”.

As @nonsuchbook.bsky.social suggested, I got my hand on #ColdComfortFarm by #StellaGibbons – I could really use some cold, cold comfort to help me through this maddening #heatwave…

Probably something nasty. Maybe to be found in the woodshed.

Just what did Ada Doom see in the woodshed?

I wonder if the 'There's Something In The Barn' "thing" is related to the 'There's Something Nasty In The Woodshed' "thing"? 🤔

'Explosion of water voles' headline immediately makes me think of Urk Starkadder…

'Mr Tansley said water voles were like "little mini beavers" who "create all of these little micro habitats that other animals can get into".'

These tiny hydrological engineers create homes for wildlife, + porous banks that help slow the flow, reducing flood + drought risk.

A project to protect river animals by eradicating mink has seen the East of England become the only place in Britain where water vole populations are increasing...

Oo! Still on iplayer for another few months. I loved the book, but never saw this (too busy being traumatised by something I’d seen in the woodshed, no doubt) #ColdComfortFarm

In a complete change of pace from Jacobean tragedy, one of my all time favourite BBC period dramas of one of my favourite comic novels is on iPlayer.

(And it has baby Rufus Sewell and Rupert Penry-Jones in it)

“It was curious that persons who lived what the novelists called a rich emotional life always seemed to be a bit slow on the uptake.”
-English writer Stella Gibbons, born on this day in 1902.

#WriterSky #BookSky #ColdComfortFarm #History #BOTD
Her best-known work is Cold Comfort Farm, which showcases Gibbons’ skills as a satirist. Her writing was admired by many of her contemporaries, including T. S. Eliot. Virginia Woolf asked Gibbons to write for a publication printed by Woolf and her husband. The humor in Gibbons' work comes through in stages: first, laughter, then the thought that she is describing people you know, and then the realization that she is skewering you, too. Gibbons was so adept at satirizing writers and writing, that the writers and critics who determine who and which works should be in the canon of English literature have still not made her or Cold Comfort Farm part of it.

A dark and rickety farm house, a loopy bull, and a comically off-kilter sense of looming silliness greet you in the naive folk-style art of this book cover for Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons, in bright cheery buttercup yellow against a more sombre forget-me-not blue. Published in 1932 but set about 15 or 20 years in its own future, Cold Comfort Farm is historic science-fiction, as well as being, as a quote from the Sunday Times at the bottom of this cover claims, "Probably the funniest book ever written."

Annual re-read of Stella Gibbons' #ColdComfortFarm Given to me to read by my Granny as a teen, this book emigrated with me.

'Let other pens dwell on guilt and misery' - Mansfield Park on the imprint page. #Brava
The Penguin Classics edition of Cold Comfort Farm is on a tray table with a travel cup of coffee. The book cover makes me smile every time, it has a jersey cow nose looming large at you.
