Great Expectations. Wordsworth Classics - Charles Dickens

Considered by many to be Dickens' finest novel, Great Expectations traces the growth of the book's narrator, Philip Pirrip (Pip), from a boy of shallow dreams to a man with depth of character.

From its famous dramatic opening on the bleak Kentish marshes, the story abounds with some of Dickens' most memorable characters. Among them are

• the kindly blacksmith Joe Gargery
• the mysterious convict Abel Magwitch
• the eccentric Miss Haversham and her beautiful ward Estella
• Pip's good-hearted room-mate Herbert Pocket
• the pompous Pumblechook

As Pip unravels the truth behind his own 'great expectations' in his quest to become a gentleman, the mysteries of the past and the convolutions of fate through a series of thrilling adventures serve to steer him towards maturity and his most important discovery of all - the truth about himself.
