Out Of The Woodshed: A Portrait Of Stella Gibbons by Reggie Oliver

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Well written and well researched biography of the inimitable Stella Gibbons, still so funny today. Fascinating to discover the subjects of the parody in Cold Comfort Farm - Mary Webb and even D.H. Lawrence - and how prescient Stella was in her futuristic setting. Thoroughly enjoyed reading this and impelled to read more of her subsequent novels.
