WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY ALEXANDER MCCALL SMITH

A glorious collection of stories from the author of Cold Comfort Farm. The title story tells of a typical Christmas at the farm before the coming of Flora Poste. It is a parody of the worst sort of family Christmas: Adam Lambsbreath dresses up as Father Christmas in two of Judith's red shawls. There are unsuitable presents, unp...more

The one thing everyone seems to know of Stella Gibbons is that she wrote one book ' Cold Comfort Farm' and then she was destined to have it hang around her neck like the famous albatross for the rest of her less than stellar career. This may or may not be true, though I remember reading 'Here be dragons' and quite enjoying it, but it cannot be denied that for myself CCF is probably the only book of hers that i would return to. That was until I picked this up whilst Christmas shopping in Exeter....more The one thing everyone seems to know of Stella Gibbons is that she wrote one book ' Cold Comfort Farm' and then she was destined to have it hang around her neck like the famous albatross for the rest of her less than stellar career. This may or may not be true, though I remember reading 'Here be dragons' and quite enjoying it, but it cannot be denied that for myself CCF is probably the only book of hers that i would return to. That was until I picked this up whilst Christmas shopping in Exeter. Ironically the title short story is, whilst drawing on the fondness of memory of that other book, in my opinion quite easily the weakest story in the collection. It is without purpose, with little real humour and no drama. Weak, weak, weak. However that does not go for all the stories.

In the collection you gain a real sense of a woman who understood the missed opportunities for love and happiness that comes about as a result of people failing to speak or communicate clearly. 'To love and to cherish' gently nudges us along the road of wasted life. There are other examples of the same sadness and though very few stories end sadly or miserably 'The walled garden', 'A charming man' and 'sisters' all speak in different ways of expectation and loss, of people reaching out in love or decency and being rebutted. Sad but real.

There is humour and a wonderful sense of the absurd and the sarcastic slant of some of Gibbons' comments are wonderfully understated but striking. In 'The friend of man' an overlooked woman taken for granted seeks release but to what

'She did not want second best. She wanted the real thing; that real thing which her friends discovered, like the gleeful followers of a treasure hunt, every eighteen months or so '....Ouch

In the same story Gibbons describes another of the characters thus

'He stood, balancing slightly on his heels, sipping his womanish drink and wishing it was beer; he was as conspicous as a stone post in that fluid crowd'

simple image but cleverly expresses a good deal about him, his opinions and the insubstantial group of hangers on. This seems a particular gift of Gibbons, the ability to describe swiftly and concisely. In the story 'Tame Wild Party' we find this sentence

'He was green in the face and a lock of hair fell over one of his eyes giving him a Beardsleyish look which Joyce, who had never heard of Beardlsey, found singularly revolting'

The genius of this little sentence is it tells us so much of Joyce. Had she heard of Beardsley then her reaction would have been different because the decadent society of which she felt compelled to be a part would approve of his look and thus so would she. I loved that concise and incisive whip of criticism implied without being obvious.

As i read these stories, and there are 16 in all, they come from different directions and nestle down with different atmospheres but I was struck by the fact that she wrote of the same class of people, to a large extent, as did Wodehouse. In these stories however, though there was not the same witticisms and clever turn of phrases that pepper his writing, I found I liked the characters more. I was, to a large extent rooting for them.

These stories will never have been going to set the world on fire but if you enjoy short stories then these have a simple value. They are about relationship and missed opportunity, about hero-worship and its painful demise, about the growth in self-knowledge that leads to a new future and the very last story in the collection is a simple but clever one that ends on a note of really satisfying acknowledgment that it is never too late.

Rating clarification: 3.5 stars.

This is a lovely volume of short stories by the author of the classic comic novel Cold Comfort Farm. But be warned, they differ in style to that popular novel, all excepting the titular story, Christmas at Cold Comfort Farm, of course. Also the title of the collection as a whole is somewhat misleading, as only the fist two stories are Christmas themed.

These short stories won't be to everyone's taste as they are period pieces about the upper classes in England duri...more

I have been looking forward so much to reading these stories, although I approached it nervously as I had read some fairly luke warm reviews. If anything I was disappointed in the title story - it was too short I wanted more, the only other Christmassy story was charming though. Overall I so enjoyed these old fashioned stories, and it has made me want to read more Stella Gibbons.

Reading Stella Gibbons is like taking a lovely warm bath - an inherently comforting experience. Obviously the plum in the pudding is her revisiting of the eponymous Cold Comfort Farm on Christmas Day a little before Flora Post makes their aquaintance. Here the Christmas "gifts" are to be given out - although with the gothic twist expected of the Stark household. Pity the recipient of the coffin nail in the pudding. Ada Doom, the matriarch of the clan, commands her descendants to - "Be Gay, Spaw...more

I'm afraid that this book of short stories, rather than being as quirky and arch as the title story and the previous book it was based on, is actually rather painful and haunting. I find myself dreading my spinsterhood as example after example of "Smart Set" who settle are paraded after me.

I find myself dreading my spinsterhood as example after example of "Smart Set" who settle are paraded after me. I don't know whether I should rejoice that they've successfully evaded the smug, cruel and immoral Smart Set or mourn that they've married into the slow, uninteresting or deeply flawed world of convention. Let me provide and example, which won't ruin the whole book for you (wee bit of spoiler):

In "The Walled Garden," the sensible husband says, when his wife doesn't put her old friends ahead of her young family,

"You needn't feel bad about it. You can't live like a married person and a bachelor as well. [Your old friends] are still living a bachelor life. They're married but they've no children and no responsibilities and so they can change their plans at a second's notice and give all the time they want to the work they like doing or pop aboard whenever they like. [...] It's no use. You've chosen to be a married person. You've chosen the people you're responsible for me and Kitty and Baby [...] You can't go helping every lame dog you meet; that's the bachelor's job. A marriage has got to have a wall round it, like the garden. Inside the wall everything's safe. It's got to be so that the fruit can grow."

Well, that sounds pretty darn wise to me. In fact, it sounds just like what I'd like to say to some of my acquaintances who insist in trying to do everything all at once instead of recognizing that different periods of life have different priorities. But then, just when Gibbons seems to be giving you a clear moral of the story, she hits you with this:

"But surely all marriages aren't like a walled garden.
"All proper marriages are," answered her husband.

Aaaarg! Am I agreeing with the cold convention of repressed Victorians? Am I resigning our heroine to a selfish, stultifying life? Suddenly, I doubt the choices I willed her to make.

Anyway, the whole book is full of these kinds of dilemmas coming to women in their late-20s and early 30s. It's a bit like a depressing Tina Fey, there are so many women struggling to "have it all": career women with disappointing husbands and women stuck in the friend zone, and so many familiar types. Should be re-read but I don't know whether Gibbons' Triumph of Tradition is supposed to be tragedy or not.

The title of this collection of short stories is a little misleading. It would be easy to suppose that these are stories entirely related to Gibbons' most famous creation, Cold Comfort Farm. However, only one story in the collection ticks this box, and only two of the stories have a Christmas setting. The other stories are generally themed around unassuming women who find true love and conventional happiness at the conclusion.

it was a bit weird to be reading this at the same time as Mary McCarthy's The Company she keeps. Although this is from a slightly earlier period in the 20c there were some similarities and aspects that invited comparison. I'm not really a short story fan, but at least Stella Gibbons' stories were short (unlike the novella length of McCarthy) and followed more the short story tradition.

I thoroughly enjoyed Christmas at Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons. I love her book Cold Comfort Farm (and the movie based on it) so I had to check this out when I saw it on the library shelf.

One minor caution - there is only one story about the family from the Cold Comfort Farm, and it's one of the least impressive in the collection. Still, I forgive whoever named the book after that story because I would probably not have noticed the book otherwise. The collection was first published in 19...more

It was hilarious--full of Gibbons' signature wit. This anthology is well worth seeking out just for this story.

Held separately, the other stories in this anthology are quite dated in their outlook, and problematic for the modern reader. Although there are glimpses of Saki-like humor scattered here-and-there, the problem comes in that every story implies that the only true happiness for a woman comes in giving up all ambition (implied as selfish), careers, intellectual pursuit and to settle down with a man and raise children. All 'spinsters' are frigid, unhappy, possibly mentally ill and to-be-pitied. There is some pretty blatant classism (one spinster implied as being married off to a man (not her social equal) in order to raise his rowdy motherless children and due to her white and patrician hands. (...Oooh what a treat for her, I'm sure! A loveless marriage in order to provide child-care and sexual services instead of her own home, freedom, and independence.) Also there is a story where the careerist wife is slapped as punishment by her adulterous, alcoholic and (lazy)out-of-work husband due to her folly in her insistence on maintaining her job and income at the expense of her marriage. (I.e. it's all her fault the marriage broke down. It ends with her abject apology and the implication that she will now stay home and take care of him from then on.)

I found these two particular stories quite disturbing and am glad that social mores have changed to the extent that they have. I assume that these stories were written for womens magazines in the 1930's and 1940's and that these attitudes were then prevalent? They are disturbingly uncomfortable to read now.

All in all, I recommend this book for the title story. But the others have not 'worn well' and serve more for window on history than for reading pleasure. My vote? Five stars for the title story, two for the rest.(less)

A series of sophisicated and deliciously sly attacks on modernity. Although these are short stories, you become as involved with thecharacters as in a novel. The story I enoyed most: 'More than kind'; but my favourtiote quotes comes from 'The friend of man':

'She felt that if she had to spend another year of interesting, congenial work during the days, and sensitive, cultured, intelligent talk in the evenings, she would go mad or die.' (p. 211)

La publicación hace algunos años de ”La hija de Robert Poste” fue un bombazo para la editorial Impedimenta, fue una de esas sorpresas que la gente recomendaba naturalmente, el boca a boca (o boca a oreja) sirvió para auparla y convertirla en un clásico de obligada visita, una diversión muy loca y metaficcional con las andanzas de un grupo de brutos ingleses que son visitados por la refinada Flora Poste y hace que cambien sus vidas; no en vano llevan ya 19 ediciones de este libro.
Su publicación original en 1932 ocasionó algo parecido, su autora ganó el reconocimiento general a nivel de crítica y público y le sirvió para ir publicando más libros, además de algunos relacionados con este gran éxito.
El caso de “Navidades en Cold Comfort Farm” en 1940 es un poco fruto de este aprovechamiento, el título es exacto al de la edición inglesa; pero sin embargo, una vez leído al completo, se da uno cuenta de que solo hay una historia, especie de “precuela” de la primera novela de la que hablé, ambientada en la granja “Cold Comfort Farm”, a pesar de estar llamado de esta manera el libro; otro dato curioso es el referente a las “historias navideñas” porque si bien es cierto que el libro empieza con una típica (“El arbolito de Navidad”), es también un evento aislado; ya que, en el resto de relatos, las referencias son tan sutiles que, a veces se vuelven inexistentes.
Impedimenta aprovecha, no sabemos si conscientemente, estos mismos hechos y lo saca en período navideño para sacar el mayor filón posible de una de sus escritoras más importantes y, para qué engañarnos, es una decisión excelente, porque el libro es fantástico, los relatos son muy eclécticos y funcionan, como de costumbre en esta insigne escritora, como disecciones perspicaces de la sociedad de la época, por citar algunos de los fantásticos cuentos:
Así, en “La marca del crimen” tenemos una historia de detectives a la vieja usanza con el boticario quiromántico capaz de ayudar a resolver un caso; en “Hermanas” el final está cargado de amargura, todo por el desdén de una sociedad que se alimenta del escándalo; “Vanidad dorada” le sirve para hablar sobre la idealización del escritor por algunos lectores ahondando en los motivos por los que la gente lee libros para concluir que, muchas veces, no es por la calidad de los mismos; más doloroso por sus consecuencias es “Más que amable”, donde ataca despiadadamente la diplomacia sobre lo "políticamente correcto" en el trato personal y familiar; me gustaría citar también, por su audacia, esa joya freudiana e introspectiva que es "El hermano del señor Amberly", donde profundiza aún más, si cabe, en el estudio de la identidad de la persona y en la forma de afrontar los miedos personales.
En fin, estamos, cómo no, ante una obra excelente, variada, exquisita y, desde luego, de calidad de una autora que, actualmente, aún siendo del siglo XX, me parece simplemente imprescindible. Stella Gibbons tiene ya varias de sus obras publicadas por aquí y, desde luego, nadie debería perderse ninguna de ellas.

Stella Gibbon's Cold Comfort Farm (CCF) is among my favorite books, so I had high hopes for this collection of short stories, finally available in the US and -- bonus! -- with an introduction by Alexander McCall Smith.

My first disappointment was that only one of the short stories in the collection was about CCF and, although it had a few funny lines, it wasn't anything special overall and didn't add anything new. (And, it didn't answer the burning questions: WHAT was nasty in the woodshed? and...more

Stella Gibbons' writing is perfect. It has the familiarity of characters which reminds me very much of L.M. Montgomery's short stories. And there's some Roaring Twenties-ish happenings which feel a bit Fitzgerald-y. And then it's funny--not laugh out loud funny. Just quiet ob...more

While the scene is supposedly rural Brithish life of the 1930's, I found references that made me wonder if it wasn't suppose to have been the 1940's.

Though WWI is by no means belaboured the series of stories reveals its effects on women in their various spheres; the career woman, the domesticate, the housewife, the spinster.

I picked this up at Christmas time hoping for some comforting, heartwarming Christmas short stories. I enjoyed the compilation in its own right, but it was neither comforting nor heartwarming - and only the first two stories were at all Christmas related.

Definitely an interesting read if you are interested in a subjective account of a particular (upper class intellectual) set in post World War 1 England. But I wouldn't recommend it at Christmas time.

I got this because I could not imagine how the Starkadders celebrated Christmas and wanted to find out. That story was really funny but some of the others were absolute gems which really stick in my mind. I would have given this 5 stars, but a few of the stories had a similar theme (a woman who was a fish out of water in one respect or another finding love unexpectedly) and while they were well written, they were too similar to really hold my interest.

I liked some of the short stories, but found myself getting tired of them as I read on, and they became a little more predictable. Also, I find I like having characters that I can follow for a good number of pages and that I learn to like or dislike with time, as opposed to ones that are only there for a short time (with due exceptions, like Borges's The Aleph and other stories which is absolutely fantastic)

This is a book of short stories. Gibbons is a hero of mine so I was, to be fair, wearing rose coloured spectacles when I read it. Most of the stories lived up to my expectations...but a couple of them left me wanting. Nonetheless, I find Gibbons' writing to be intelligent, humorous, and it tends to 'make me think about life'...the sort of fiction I like to read now and again.

Stella Gibbons has been described as the Jane Austen of the 20th Century. Just one of these short stories is based on Cold Comfort farm. The rest are witty and poignant vignettes of English life in the late 30s. This isn't great literature but a very enjoyable read, especially when you are kept in bed by a bad cold and need something amusing to occupy your mind!

The original Cold Comfort farm is so wonderful a read that it would be hard to equal it. This sequel of short stories is certainly dated, which is forgiveable, but far from the quality of Cold Comfort Farm itself. Predictable plots, very much showing how particularly the role of women has changed over the decades.

This is a collection of short stories set in the 1930s. There is an array of stories that all make a small point about this era. It is a quaint collection of stories that I enjoyed (I normally hate short stories). I was a little disappointed as I thought it was a prequel to Cold Comfort Farm telling you about the characters lives before the female protagonist arrives.
