The House in Dormer Forest is a 1920 romance novel by the British writer Mary Webb.[1] It was part of a wave of regional novels set across Britain, in Webb's case in her native Shropshire.[2] She wrote it while living at her home near Bayston Hill. It was one of several works that inspired the later parody novel Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons.
