In the classic tradition of Austen, this is a work of humor, deceit and romance. It is the story of Catherine Morland, a young girl who visits the largest city she's ever been to, Bath, with friends. The Allens, with whom she is staying, introduce her to more friends, the Tilneys and the Thorpes. Eleanor Tilney and her older brother Henry invite Catherine to their home, Northanger Abbey, an invitation the romantic Catherine jumps at. Her passion for Gothic novels leads her to the conclusion that Northanger Abbey, being an abbey, must hide great and gruesome secrets, and she often lets her imagination go wild. This is the story of her adventures, and misadventures in love and life.
