Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen (Hardcover)
“Beware how you give your heart.” Northanger Abbey is a coming-of age satirical novel, which pokes fun at the 18th century British genteel. Seventeen-year-old Catherine Morland is excessively fond of reading Gothic novels. She is invited by the Allens to spend a season in Bath and participate in balls and the theatre. Soon enough, she meets the intriguing and wealthy Henry Tilney, with whom she engages in conversation and frivolity. Her over-active imagination leads her to expect mystery and intrigue at every turn. However, the truth turns out to be far more complicated. Deliciously witty in its portrayal of love, Northanger Abbey is one of Jane Austen’s most endearing classics.

Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome (H.B)
“But who wants to be foretold the weather? It is bad enough when it comes, without our having the misery of knowing about it beforehand. Published in 1889, three men in a Boat is the most widely acclaimed novel by English author Jerome K. Jerome. Jerome wrote the novel after going on a boating trip along river Thames. Intended initially to serve as a tour guide, the novel, however, was soon overtaken by the comical elements and transformed into the humorous travelogue that is a classic today. Three friends, J. (Jerome), Harris and George, are apparent hypochondriacs in need of a vacation. A two-week long boating trip, they feel, would be good for their health. Narrated by “J.”, An embodiment of Jerome K. Jerome himself, the story chronicles in the form of ramblings and digressions, the hilarious adventures and mishaps of the three friends. The novella success led to a sequel, three men on the bummel (1900) and was adapted in several art-forms including film and theatre.”.
