About Mary Webb:
Mary Webb is set chiefly in the Shropshire countryside and among Shropshire characters and people which she knew. Her novels have been successfully dramatized, most notably the film Gone to Earth in 1950 by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. They inspired the famous parody Cold Comfort Farm.
I thought she had a good heart, though not much respectability- or maybe it was because of that.
