The Penguin English Library Edition of Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen` To look almost pretty, is an acquisition of higher delight to a girl who has been looking plain the first fifteen years of her life, than a beauty from her cradle can ever receive` During an eventful season at Bath, young, naive Catherine Morland experiences the joys of fashionable society for the first time. She is delighted with her new acquaintances: flirtatious Isabella, who shares Catherine`s love of Gothic romance & horror, & sophisticated Henry & Eleanor Tilney, who invite her to their father`s mysterious house, Northanger Abbey. There, her imagination influenced by novels of sensation & intrigue, Catherine imagines terrible crimes committed by General Tilney. With its broad comedy & irrepressible heroine, this is the most youthful & and optimistic of Jane Austen`s works. The Penguin English Library
