Explore the charm and wit of Jane Austen through two of her beloved novels in this beautiful collection.

This volume contains the first and last novels Jane Austen ever wrote: Northanger Abbey and Persuasion-both of which were published posthumously.

Northanger Abbey is a satire of the popular Gothic novels of the time that has at its heart a woman who, unlike her peers who crave wealth or social acceptance, wants only for an authentic happiness based on morality. Follow the imaginative Catherine Morland as she navigates the intrigues of society and the gothic mysteries of Northanger Abbey.

Persuasion, is the story of Anne Elliot, an Englishwoman who is surprised to find that her family has rented their house to her now-married fiancé from seven years previous. The stage is set for humorous situations and the promise of a rekindling of old flames. The poignant tale of Anne Elliot unfolds, depicting her journey of love, regret, and second chances with Captain Frederick Wentworth.

Both stories showcase Austen’s sharp social commentary and enduring appeal, making this duo an essential addition to any classic literature lover’s library.
