Catherine Morland, the daughter of a rural clergyman, is taken to Bath for the season by family friends Mr. & Mrs. Allen. Here she makes the acquaintance of the Thorpe family including Isabella who becomes engaged to Catherine’s brother James and her brother John who declares his romantic interest in Catherine. However Catherine’s head is turned by Henry Tilney and has the good fortune to gain his father, General Tilney's approval, which is founded upon the exaggerated report of her family’s wealth – given to him by the foolish young John Thorpe. Invited to Northanger Abbey, the mediaeval seat of the Tilneys, Catherine and Henry become close until she imagines a mystery surrounding the death of the General’s wife which offends Henry.
