A wickedly satirical portrait of British rural life in the 1930s. Flora Poste, a recently orphaned socialite - expensively, athletically and lengthily educated - is peculiarly rich in relatives...and a lot of them are peculiar. She chooses to move in with her country cousins, the gloomy Starkadders of Cold Comfort Farm: Judith, alone with her grief and Tarot cards; Amos, called by God to preach hellfire to the Quivering Brethren twice a week; Elfine, who feels that an eccentric dress style and poetry go very well together; Seth, positively smouldering with sex appeal; Rueben, firmly convinced that Flora's mission in life is to steal the farm away from him and Great Aunt Ada Doom - who saw something nasty in the woodshed. And of course, there's the dashing neighbour at Hawk-Monitor Hall and Mr. Mybug, a self-styled writer and passionately in love with Flora. There's plenty of emotions, despair and scheming - until Flora, who can't abide untidiness, decides that this state of affairs won't do, and starts to put things right with unexpected consequences.
