| biography:
| Writer, born in London, UK. She worked as a journalist, and later began a series of successful novels, as well as writing poetry and short stories. Her Cold Comfort Farm (1932), a light-hearted satire on melodramatic rural novels - notably those of Mary Webb (1881–1927), including Gone to Earth (1917) and Precious Bane (1924) - has established itself as a classic of parody. |
