Northanger Abbey

Catherine Morland is an imaginative, seventeen year-old who has a love of reading, particularly Gothic novels. Visiting Bath for the first time, she experiences adventure in fashionable Regency society, meeting all manner of new companions and acquaintances. But her encounter with Henry Tilney takes Catherine on a totally different (and eventful) course - one that proves to her the real world can be far more challenging and complicated than anything Catherine might ever read about in one of her novels. 


Northanger Abbey is Jane Austen’s classic tale of Gothic mystery, self-discovery, friendship and romance - and is a characteristic look by its authoress at human nature that is still as entertaining and timeless as it is humorous, unpredictable and touching.
