I love Cold Comfort Farm but didn't know the full name of author - Stella Dorothea Gibbons. Dorothea, wonderful. I feel even more warmly disposed to the novel now that I know more about Stella Dorothea Gibbons .... Thank You!

love this post! Stella Gibbons is in my family tree. Her mum MPStandish Williams was descended from Miles Standish who went on to discover America or something like that. He was a big cheese on the Mayflower and all Americans claim to be related to him.
