Mary Gladys Webb (25 March 1881 – 8 October 1927) was an English romance novelist and poet of the early 20th century, whose work was set chiefly in the Shropshire countryside and among Shropshire characters and people whom she knew.
Her novels have been successfully dramatized, most notably the film Gone to Earth in 1950 by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger based on the novel of the same title.
The novels are thought to have inspired the famous parody Cold Comfort Farm (1932) by Stella Gibbons.
