Available for the first time since its original publication more than fifty years ago, Christmas at Cold Comfort Farm is a charming collection whose hilarious title story features Christmas dinner with the Starkadders before Flora's arrival. With Adam playing Santa while draped in Mrs. Starkadders's shawls, the family shares their traditional "Christmas pudding"-a mélange containing random objects of doom foretelling the coming year: a coffin nail for death, a bad sixpence for financial ruin, and a menthol cone to indicate that the lucky recipient will go "blind wi' headache." These lively tales will delight anyone who loves Stella Gibbons and her signature wit.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Kristin Hannah is beloved by readers around the world for her unique blend of powerful emotion and exquisite storytelling. In Comfort & Joy, she offers a modern-day fairy tale—the story of a woman who gets a miraculous chance at happiness. Joy Candellaro once loved Christmas more than any other time of the year. Now, as the holiday approaches, she is at a crossroads in her life; recently divorced and alone, she can’t summon the old enthusiasm for celebrating. So without telling anyone, she buys a ticket and boards a plane bound for the beautiful Pacific Northwest. When an unexpected detour takes her deep into the woods of the Olympic rainforest, Joy makes a bold decision to leave her ordinary life behind—to just walk away—and thus begins an adventure unlike any she could have imagined. In the small town of Rain Valley, six-year-old Bobby O’Shea is facing his first Christmas without a mother. Unable to handle the loss, Bobby has closed himself off from the world, talking only to his invisible best friend. His father Daniel is beside himself, desperate to help his son cope. Yet when the little boy meets Joy, these two unlikely souls form a deep and powerful bond. In helping Bobby and Daniel heal, Joy finds herself again. But not everything is as it seems in quiet Rain Valley, and in an instant, Joy’s world is ripped apart, and her heart is broken. On a magical Christmas Eve, a night of impossible dreams and unexpected chances, Joy must find the courage to believe in a love—and a family—that can’t possibly exist, and go in search of what she wants . . . and the new life only she can find.

Orphaned at a tender age, Elsie has spent her entire life toiling away in the orphanage, scrubbing floors and doing menial chores in exchange for room and board. On the eve of her eighteenth birthday, a sudden revelation turns her world upside down: she discovers she has a husband waiting for her, and she must embark on a journey by train to meet him. In a heart-wrenching twist, the headmistress cruelly separates Elsie from her beloved sister, Eleanor, forbidding them to bid each other farewell. As Elsie boards the train bound for Colorado, her stomach churns with anxiety, leaving her pondering the fate of her sister. Dr. Clark is a man deeply devoted to the pursuit of knowledge, burying himself in books and dedicating his life to caring for the sick and injured. Amidst the thriving town of Georgetown, Colorado, brimming with miners seeking fortunes, the doctor has focused solely on his medical practice, neglecting the search for a wife or a family. Therefore, when Elsie unexpectedly arrives, he is perplexed as to why she has been sent as his bride, since he had specifically requested an assistant for his practice from his nephew. Will love's gentle pulse awaken between the doctor and Elsie, bridging the gap between their differences? Or will Elsie's yearning to reunite with her sister lead her to flee their blossoming connection?
