Northanger Abbey

What happens when a naïve young reader mistakes fiction for real life?

Northanger Abbey is Jane Austen's first completed novel-an affectionate satire of gothic novels and a heartfelt tale of youth, romance, and self-discovery. The story follows Catherine Morland, an ordinary girl with an extraordinary imagination, as she navigates high society, misreads intentions, and suspects murder in a grand abbey straight out of her favorite books.

Austen playfully critiques literary trends while weaving a sweet and insightful love story. With her signature wit and irony, she shows us that growing up sometimes means learning to see the world-and ourselves-more clearly.

This annotated and illustrated edition includes historical context and commentary, ideal for students, classic literature fans, and Austen enthusiasts.
