Northanger Abbey (Cranford Collection)
Northanger Abbey (Cranford Collection) | Jane Austen
4 posts | 1 reading
A Limited Edition from the Cranford Collection! Beautifully embossed with a gold gilding on a hardback cloth binding for the cover.
Obsessed with Gothic fiction, seventeen-year-old Catherine Morland is wintering in Bath when she encounters dashing gentleman Henry Tilney and the charismatic Thorpe siblings. Swept up by the high society she has found herself in, Catherine and her overactive imagination lead her into numerous comical misunderstandings with the Tilney family. Northanger Abbey boldly and humorously explores society in Regency-era England.

"The master of the ceremonies introduced to her a very gentlemanlike young man as a partner;—his name was Tilney."

It's Henry Tilney‼️?

bookandbedandtea Yay for that particular master of ceremonies! He chose well. 22h
Crinoline_Laphroaig @bookandbedandtea I love the randomness of this. He could have introduced her to anyone. But instead it's Henry Tilney. 10h
CaramelLunacy Thank goodness it was Henry Tilney! 9h

I love how this chapter is so fun, to say that nothing happened. 😄

This is edition I'll mainly be reading from. Also have Audio and Kindle for busy days.

My favorite quote from Chapter 1 and one of my favorites from entire book:

"if adventures will not befall a young lady in her own village, she must seek them abroad,"

CrowCAH How fortuitous that I‘ll be reading this book for my library‘s book club discussion early in June, so I get to read it in May! I‘ll join the chapter a day readalong, once I finish my current ebook. No worries, I‘ll be able to catch up ☺️ 2d
Crinoline_Laphroaig @CrowCAH that's perfect! I'm loving how many Jane things I have going on. I'm also doing this NA Readalong with non Litsy friends on Instagram. I've join in several events from Jane Austen's House. And I couldn't find a Chapter A Day Jane book so I'm doing my own in a journal and posting to my Facebook so I will have some Jane everyday in my Facebook memories. 2d
CrowCAH @Crinoline_Laphroaig sounds wonderful! 🥰 I have my book club reading a JA variation this month. My library is doing an event in June. I joined JASNA this year and near me is an active local chapter; I‘m looking forward to handing out with some Janeites!!! 2d

"No one who had ever seen Catherine Morland in her infancy, would have supposed her born to be an heroine."
