Cold Comfort Farm

Last week, I watched Cold Comfort Farm with Kate Beckinsale and I decided to read the book again. I bought it for my Kindle and read it for most of yesterday. The movie holds pretty close to the book, except for the character of Mary Smiling. The book character seems a little more motherly then the character as portrayed by Joanna Lumley. There's also not so many male charcaters in the movie at Cold Comfort Farm, there's a few more hired hands and cousins that never appear in the movie. But I'm enjoying it all the same. From the forward in the penguin classics edition, Stella Gibbons is said to have been embarassed by the book in later years and though she wrote 20 other novels, none of those are currently in print.
