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 her 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.
