    Summary

    A carriage conveying a newly wed couple to the future home of their choice cannot fail to be an object of interest to every author's pen. In such a carriage one may comfortably place all hopes and expectations, everything felicitous and romantic. The carriage in question had very little to recommend itself in the way of romance, however. Its appearance was sturdy, rather than fine, and its horses were neither midnight black nor dappled grey. Grievous faults indeed, but it said much of our young bride's felicity, that she was wholly insensible of these defects; Catherine had never loved a carriage better, and even thirty miles into their journey could find no fault with it.

    Summary

    When in search for a tragic hero, no one would have thought to look twice at Henry Tilney. His life may have begun promising, being born under the roof of a former abbey as the second son of a very stern military man, but from this point on both Henry’s situation in life and his disposition were entirely against him…

    [A full rewrite of Jane Austen's “Northanger Abbey”, this time told from the perspective of Henry Tilney. Since the original is named for the Tilney’s home, I thought this reimagining should be named for the Morland’s.
    Written to be canon compliant, historically accurate and in the style of the original work.]
