Great Expectations

Pip—Miss Havisham—Estella—Abel Magwitch—Herbert Pocket! Charles Dickens introduces in GREAT EXPECTATIONS another set of the more memorable characters of English literature. Pip is an orphaned boy growing up in humble circumstances. A chance encounter, acceptance into the household of a wealthy neighbor, and news of a mysterious benefactor lead Pip into “great expectations.” It is a spellbinding story from its shocking beginning to its dramatic conclusion. Often described as Charles Dickens’ greatest novel (even by the author, himself), GREAT EXPECTATIONS is certainly among his most widely read.
