Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen (Paperback)

About this book

Jane Austen's first novel. The shortest of her works, it is also the writtiest - a light-hearted satire of Gothic novels, which were quite the rage at the time.

There is the seventeen year-old Catherine Morland, who loves such books and readily believes such mysterious and dark events to be afoot in her own world. There is John Thorpe - vain and authoritative, and Henry Tilney - charming and witty. And of course, there is Northanger Abbey, full of mystery, horror and dark secrets - or so Catherine would believe. This is a tale of growing up and learning to understand the world, and ultimately finding happiness.
