Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey is a coming-of-age novel that satirizes the overwrought, melodramatic Gothic romance novels that were popular in her day. Though it was the first book she completed, it was not published until after her death.

This is one of the Jane Austen books my Jane Austen Action Figure and I are releasing this summer at Little Free Libraries in the Northeastern U.S. and Canada's Maritime Provinces.

Jane Austen loves Little Free Libraries, and we like to visit as many as we can, leaving at least one book in each. Do you know about Little Free Libraries? If you have books to donate, bring them by and place them inside. When you're finished reading a Little Free Library book, you can choose either to keep it, to return it to this or any other LFL, or to give it away. No strings. No limits. No fees. No memberships. Just BOOKS!

Read about my Little Free Library on its own Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/LittleFreeLibraryOfAlexandriaAndHancock
