Book
Northanger Abbey / Jane Austen.
Catherine Morland, a small-town girl on holiday in Bath, meets and falls in love with Henry Tilney, a handsome young clergyman. Henry's father, believing Catherine to be wealthy, invites her to be a guest at Northanger Abbey, the family's country estate. Catherine, who has read too many Gothic romances and is possessed with too vivid an imagination, views the abbey as a house of nightmarish horror. An amusing assortment of misunderstandings and plot twists result.
