Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series designed by the award-winning
Coralie Bickford-Smith these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality
colourful tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design. During an eventful season at Bath
young naïve 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 and horror and sophisticated Henry and Eleanor Tilney who invite her to
their father's mysterious house Northanger Abbey. There her imagination influenced by novels
of sensation and intrigue Catherine imagines terrible crimes committed by General Tilney. With
its broad comedy and irrepressible heroine this is the most youthful and and optimistic of
Jane Austen's works.
