Christmas at Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons

 


A collection of light short stories, although in some, notably 'Sisters', there's some very sharp social comment.
The short stories contained within the book are beautifully written, but much more of their own time.
There is only one about Cold Comfort Farm - the rest are about  are about ordinary people living ordinary lives reflecting 1930's sexual morals. There is a story where a spinster takes in a single mother and eventually confesses to having had unwedded cough with a man herself.
