It also goes back a little further and explores Henry's childhood and life before he crossed paths with Miss Catherine Morland in Bath. Overall this was a fun novel and I think Grange does a good job portraying Henry Tilney's character in a manner consistent his characterization in Northanger Abbey. I also liked that Henry's sister Eleanor played such a large role in this story. I definitely recommend this one to fans of Jane Austen spin-offs. Henry Tilney’s Diary by Amanda Grange provides readers with the inner thoughts and past of Northanger Abbey‘s hero. Like his sister Eleanor, Henry has a passion for the written word, which mirrors Austen’s homage to readers in the original novel. Grange steeps her prose in Gothic tales of secret passages and story telling between brother and sister and between Henry Tilney and Catherine Morland. Drawing inspiration from Mrs. Radcliff and her novels, A Sicilian Romance and The Mysteries of Udolpho. Unlike Austen’s version, Tilney reads Gothic novels for pleasure, a pleasure he shares with his sister, and while he remains very logical in his thinking about finding a wife, he is soon swept up by the charms of Catherine. His requirements in a wife are listed on more than one occasion with a tongue-in-cheek sense of humor.

Growing up in an abbey with an irascible father, a long-suffering mother, a rakish brother and a pretty sister, Henry Tilney's life bears more than a passing resemblance to the Gothic novels he loves to read. And yet although Henry is undoubtedly cut out to be a hero, he cannot find his heroine--until, that is, he meets Catherine Morland. With her refreshing innocence and love of reading, Catherine is the perfect match . . . unless the scheming of Henry's father and the scandalous behavior of his brother destroy their happy ending.

And its not a let down. Admittedly I'm not certain some of the portrayals were quite accurate (his brother Frederick for one), but I was really in it for Henry and she captured his humor quite well.
