Northanger Abbey – Random Thoughts

I’m still reading Northanger Abbey. I’ve never been a Henry Tilney fan – more of a Mr Knightley fan – but I am being seduced by his wit and charm.

I have seen the 1986 adaptation with Peter Firth as Henry Tilney, but he just seemed supercilious and way too old.

I’m glad I’ve taken the time to read this book slowly and appreciate the finer points.

Here are some Henry Tilney links
