Publisher's Synopsis
Regarded as one of Charles Dickens's masterpieces, Great Expectations is the story of the orphan Pip and his growth to adulthood. Supported by a mysterious anonymous benefactor, Pip travels to London to be educated as a gentleman and make himself worthy of the hand of the beautiful Estella, the ward of the reclusive Miss Havisham. But Pip finds life in London more dangerous and unpredictable than he could have imagined, and his future prospects turn out to be very different from what his great expectations had prepared him for.
