THE PENGUIN ENGLISH LIBRARY NORTHANGER ABBEY ...

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  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. The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best
fiction in English  from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of
the First World War.
