Northanger Abbey

Catherine Morland, who comes from the comfortable family of a village clergyman, is invited to Bath for the season by her wealthy friends, Mr. and Mrs. Allen. In Bath she meets the Thorpes, Isabella and her persistent brother John. Isabella encourages Catherine's interest in romantic fantasies and "horrid" fictions. Until Mr. Henry Tilney comes along. A rare gem: a shrewd psychological exploration of morals and motives, and a sensational glimpse of a colourful and dangerous lost word.
