A young woman raised on Gothic novels enters Bath society and mistakes ordinary selfishness for deliciously dark danger. Celebrate Jane Austen’s 250th birthday with this beautiful gift edition of Northanger Abbey, complete with foiled covers, marbled endpaper, sprayed edges, beautiful paper and a silk ribbon. Catherine Morland loves sensational Gothic novels, which make Bath society and a visit to Northanger Abbey feel rich with possible horrors. Her imagination, innocence and longing for adventure lead her to comic mistakes, false friendships and embarrassing suspicions. Henry Tilney may understand her better than anyone, but his father’s ambitions soon threaten their happiness. Austen’s sharp, affectionate satire of Gothic fiction is also a sparkling coming-of-age romance about reading, naivety, money and self-knowledge. This Vintage Collector’s Classics hardback is a beautiful gift for Austen readers, classic fiction collectors and fans of witty Regency novels.

Jane Austen was born in Steventon rectory on 16 December 1775. Her family later moved to Bath, then to Southampton and finally to Chawton in Hampshire. She began writing Pride and Prejudice when she was twenty-two years old. It was originally called First Impressions and was initially rejected by the publishers and only published in 1813 after much revision. She published four of her novels in her lifetime, Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1816). Jane Austen died on 18th July 1817. Northanger Abbey and Persuasion were both published posthumously in 1818.
