Northanger Abbey

Jane Austen (Author), Marilyn Butler (Editor, Writer of introduction)
"When a young lady is to be a heroine...something must and will happen to throw a hero in her way. Young impressionable Catherine Morland is delighted by her first experience of fashionable society, where she is introduced to the thrills of Gothic romances, and to the sophisticated Tilneys, who invite her to their family home, Northanger Abbey. But there, influenced by novels of horror and intrigue, Catherine begins to think that terrible crimes are being committed, and her imagination threatens to run away with her. With its irrespressible heroine and playful literary games, Northanger Abbey is the most youthful and optimistic of Jane Austen's novels."--Back cover
