Description

This elegant collector's edition presents Jane Austen's classic novel, Northanger Abbey, featuring gold cover embossing and gilded page edges.

On Catherine Morland's first excursion into fashionable society, she meets the distinguished Henry Tilney and is invited to visit his home, Northanger Abbey. A devotee of Gothic novels, Catherine hopes that the Abbey will live up to the haunted ruins conjured up in her imagination. But as she explores the mysteries of the house, her expectations lead her quite astray... While poking fun at popular fiction, Catherine's story also exposes the difference between illusion and reality, and shows how her artless approach to people attracts true friendship and love.

This beautiful pocket-sized gift edition contains the classic and unabridged text, presented with a gold embossed cover design, ivory pages, beautifully designed endpapers and gold gilded page edges. Part of the Arcturus Ornate Classics series, this book makes a wonderful gift for any lover of classic literature.
