I first came across this as a BBC production back in the 70's? So eventually got round to reading it.

A missed opportunity or two here, I understand the satirical nature of the piece, but feel it's wasted by being too tidy and too quickly sorted. The whole bunch of characters at Cold Comfort Farm are brilliant and really some are dealt with by Flora's magic wand rapidly and as if no effort is required.

Some great comic money's in there, but she is far too much the deus ex machina for my liking.
