After an indifferent school career she trained as a journalist, and worked as a reporter and features writer, mainly for the Evening Standard and The Lady. The daughter of a London medical doctor, Gibbons had a turbulent and often unhappy childhood. Much of her work was long out of print before a modest revival in the 21st century. Although she was active as a writer for half a century, none of her later 22 novels or other literary works-which included a sequel to Cold Comfort Farm-achieved the same critical or popular success. She established her reputation with her first novel, Cold Comfort Farm (1932) which has been reprinted many times. Stella Dorothea Gibbons (5 January 1902 – 19 December 1989) was an English writer, journalist, and poet.
