Award-winning narrator and internationally acclaimed writer/comedienne, Alison Larkin brings her signature wit to this dazzling audio production of Jane Austen's first novel, Northanger Abbey, followed by The History of England, a short, delightfully satirical piece that Austen wrote when she was just fifteen years old.

I've read and re-read Northanger Abbey many times. Revisiting old books is like revisiting old friends. So I was delighted to receive this audiobook to revisit this Gothic classic once again. And experience it for the first time on audio. There are many things that I really appreciate about this book. I love how Catherine's imagination runs away with her and the consequences it yields. It's a cautionary tale to say the least. Austen's nod to Gothic romance is brilliant.

Alison Larkin has narrated a long list of audio books, yet the Northanger Abbey audiobook was my first experience with this narrator. Larkin's voice was made for this audiobook. She embodied the characters' personalities effortlessly. I definitely recommend Larkin as a narrator.

I also love that included with Northanger Abbey is The History of England. It was written by Austen when she was fifteen. Though she was young, her writing style, humor, and voice comes through clearly. Overall, it was a pleasure listening to this audiobook.
