"…its narrow streets were crowded with foreigners, for the village and its lower districts of Belsize Park, St. John's Wood and Swiss Cottage had been taken over by the refugees (…) But there was a heartening note among all the sad sallow faces and unfamiliar accents…"

"A strong dark face, and untidy dark curls hanging about her shoulders. Her mouth👄 was too full (…)"
Clearly from an older novel.😉
Nowadays, lips cannot be too full, it seems to me.

My vlog review of COLD COMFORT FARM (1932) by STELLA GIBBONS, a comic novel that's stood the test of time, albeit with a couple of peculiar missteps, and one bit of bizarre antisemitism.

A snippet of the page for the short story, Jane in Space, that shows the title and a small illustration of Jane Austen in a space suit.
Aha - I found it and it's delightful! #stellagibbons #janeausten

A dark and rickety farm house, a loopy bull, and a comically off-kilter sense of looming silliness greet you in the naive folk-style art of this book cover for Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons, in bright cheery buttercup yellow against a more sombre forget-me-not blue. Published in 1932 but set about 15 or 20 years in its own future, Cold Comfort Farm is historic science-fiction, as well as being, as a quote from the Sunday Times at the bottom of this cover claims, "Probably the funniest book ever written."
For fun in February, A-Cover-A-Day, books I love, that's all. #StellaGibbons #ColdComfortFarm #GothicSpoof #NovelHumor #TooFunny #LaughterIsTheBest #LoveConquersAll #TheHigherCommonSenseConquersAll #HistoricSciFi #MyFunnyValentine #BookSky #ThomasHardyHarHar 💙📚

The BBC really ought to dramatize Bassett (with Olivia Colman or Nicola Walker in the Miss Baker part) but they'll probably opt for an umpteenth adaptation of Cold Comfort Farm instead.
