One of the BBC's '100 Novels That Shaped Our World''Brilliant ... very probably the funniest book ever written' Sunday TimesWhen sensible, sophisticated Flora Poste is orphaned at nineteen, she decides her only choice is to descend upon relatives in deepest Sussex. At the aptly-named Cold Comfort Farm, she meets the doomed Starkadders: cousin Judith, heaving with remorse for unspoken wickedness; Amos, preaching fire and damnation; their sons, lustful Seth and despairing Reuben; child of nature Elfine; and crazed old Aunt Ada Doom, who has kept to her bedroom for the last twenty years. But Flora loves nothing better than to organise other people. Armed with common sense and a strong will, she resolves to take each of the family in hand. A hilarious and ruthless parody of rural melodramas and purple prose, Cold Comfort Farm is one of the best-loved comic novels of all time.

'Screamingly funny and wildly subversive' Marian Keyes, GuardianThe Penguin Classics edition of Stella Gibbons's Cold Comfort Farm is introduced by Lynne Truss, author of Eats, Shoots and Leaves.

Colour and Sizing are good
Color: Dark Green, Size: 6 Years, Color: Dark Green, Size: 6 Years
Very nice material. Sizes are accurate. I love it. I bought size 6 for my 7 year old son ( he's a little on the smaller size) and Size 12 for my 10 year old ( he's tallish and skinny) because I want them to last a few years.

Good Suit for 8th grade formal
Color: Black, Size: 16 Years
Great suit fit true to size. Come with suspenders and tie although the tie is one size so I think it’s the same size regardless of the suit size. Quality material held up to ironing and the washing machine.

A nice surprise
Color: Black, Size: 14 Years
I really liked the feel of the material it was made with, the added kerchief already stitched into the pocket of the jacket and into the pocket of the vest it's , I feel a very good value. The jacket fit really great on my grandson the pants fit amazing and hung perfect I got the size I ordered and it was exactly what I expected it to be. And I really can't say enough about the jacket the way it fit him the way it hung but it said down to his wristbone so when he reached out it's not too short and I feel the biggest plus a lot of times in kids suits the lapels they just don't look proportioned properly, the jacket really looked great I really feel like I got more than and my money's worth and I think it was a really amazing value

Super fast next day shipping. Great fit good quality. This is going to be perfect for his sister‘s wedding. 5 foot tall, His measurements are 26 inches waist and inseam is also 26 inches. We purchased the size 16 youth. The pants are a little long and the waist was a little big. We probably could have gone for the size 14.
