Northanger Abbey: A Clever Parody and Tender Coming-of-Age Story from the Beloved Author of Pride and Prejudice

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.
