Author Description Stella Dorothea Gibbons was an English novelist, journalist, poet and short-story writer.<br /><br />Her first novel, <i>Cold Comfort Farm</i>, won the Femina Vie Heureuse Prize for 1933. A satire and parody of the pessimistic ruralism of Thomas Hardy, his followers and especially Precious Bain by Mary Webb -the "loam and lovechild" genre, as some called it, <i>Cold Comfort Farm</i> introduces a self-confident young woman, quite self-consciously modern, pragmatic and optimistic, into the grim, fate-bound and dark rural scene those novelists tended to portray.
