WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY P.D. JAMES The Vintage Classics Austen series is
designed by the writer and illustrator Leanne Shapton and introduced by
some of our finest contemporary writers and Austen fans: Alexander McCall
Smith, Lynne Truss, Amanda Vickery, Francesca Segal, P.D. James and Andrew
Motion. 'Jane Austen is a genius, and Northanger Abbey is hugely
underrated' Martin Amis Catherine Morland is a young girl with a very
active imagination. Her naivety and love of sensational novels lead her to
approach the fashionable social scene in Bath and her stay at nearby
Northanger Abbey with preconceptions that have embarrassing and
entertaining consequences.
