"...the great Lynn Redgrave reading Jane Austen. What a wonderful combination - thank you Silksoundbooks."

IThe great British actress Lynn Redgrave brings Jane Austen's first novel Northanger Abbey vividly to life in this unabridged audio book.
The story follows the 17 year old Catherine Morland, one of those
Austen girls who, in spite of her ironic portrait as a romantic heroine
in training, ends up being someone whose story you’d follow to the end
of the world. The villains and suitors somehow acquire those extra
sixteen layers that Austen cannot help herself writing.
Northanger Abbey is a wonderful piece of gothic horror - but at the
same time as you’re grinning at the terrifying manuscript Catherine
finds in her bedroom, you’ll be delighting in the sheer brilliance of
the first of Jane Austen’s great novels.
