Penguin Summer Classics: Great Expectations

More about the book

A chance encounter with an escaped convict on the wild Kent marshes; a summons to meet the eccentric Miss Havisham, jilted many years before on her wedding day and now guardian of the cold-hearted Estella; the sudden generosity of a mysterious benefactor - all these are links in a chain of events that will change Pip's life for ever and ultimately allow him to understand the true nature of his 'great expectations'.
