- Genre-Killer/Trend Killer: It’s largely forgotten now, but back between the wars, there was a very popular trend, verging on a minor Sub-Genre, for Purple Prose-laden rural gothic novels. Then Stella Gibbons wrote Cold Comfort Farm, which is good enough to survive despite it having killed its targets.
- One-Hit Wonder: Stella Gibbons had a reasonable literary career, but of all her works, only Cold Comfort Farm has really endured (with quite a fan base as well as movie and TV adaptations). Even its sequels are forgotten.
