by Jane Austen adapted for radio in five episodes by DENIS CONSTANDUROS
When Catherine Morland was taken on a visit to Bath, her head was full of the romantic novels she had been reading. Unfortunately her first visits to the Assembly Rooms were most disappointing. True, there were the vivacious Miss Thorpe and her brother, but it was not until she met the charming Mr. Tilney that Catherine began to feel her hopes realised.
