ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Jane Austen’s first novel and one of her most entertaining works.

Catherine Morland is a seventeen—year—old who leaves home to immerse herself in the bustling social life of Bath. She is simple, naive, and imaginative, and the last thing she expects is to meet the charming Henry Tilney, for whom she soon develops a deep interest.

Henry’s father, mistakenly believing Catherine to be a wealthy heiress, invites her to stay at Northanger Abbey. There, under the influence of Gothic novels and her vivid imagination, she begins to suspect that terrible secrets are hidden within its walls.
