Great Expectations by Charles Dickens (Hardcover)

Pip, an orphan raised by his sister and her blacksmith husband, helps an escaped convict on the marshes, is taken to play with the cold Estella at the house of the jilted Miss Havisham, and later receives money from an unknown benefactor to become a gentleman in London. Dickens uses the story to look at ambition, class and loyalty, with some of his most memorable characters. This hardcover has a cloth-bound case, a ribbon marker and the complete text, and it suits a home library shelf.
