Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons

Buy it from Hive.co.uk and support local booksellers 

It is an enjoyable read, but it is unclear to me why this is held up as a classic work.

Perhaps the trouble is that Cold Comfort Farm is a parody of various novels of which I have had fairly slim encounters.

I would bracket closely with the film Clueless, fun but not generally considered worthy of critical praise...

As a fan of Clueless I would support the case that it is somewhat under rated but that is perhaps a separate discussion?
