Northanger Abbey

  • Jane Austen




First Impressions: Indulge your inner romantic – a new collection of Jane Austen’s classic novels celebrating 250 years since her birth

With a foreword by Lauren Asher, author of The Fine Print and Love Redesigned

‘I dare you to read the first chapter … chances are you won’t be able to stop once you start.’ – Lauren Asher

Craving adventure, seventeen-year-old Catherine Morland leaps at the opportunity to step into the dizzying world of British high society in the resort town of Bath.

Adventure arrives in the form of handsome clergyman Henry Tilney, and the ominous promise of his family home: Northanger Abbey. But for romance to blossom, Catherine must find answers to her dark suspicious about the abbey and face that most terrifying of enemies: money-minded social climbers.

Fall head over heels for First Impressions, Puffin’s boldly designed new YA Jane Austen collection. Like all the best romcoms, Austen’s novels are full of meet-cutes, missed connections and drama; they are masterclasses in the lost arts of stolen glances and breath-taking gestures.

With a stunning modern design and forewords from leading YA romance authors, this eye-catching six-book series is an open invitation to escape the brutal nonchalance of modern dating and embrace your inner romantic.
