Great expectations - Charles Dickens

One of Dickens' most famous novels, now a new movie starring Helena Bonham Carter as Miss Faversham and Ralph Fiennes as Magwitch.
As a small boy at Joe Gargery's forge, Pip meets two people who will affect his whole life - an escaped convict he is forced to help, and the eccentric Miss Haversham, whose beautiful, cold-hearted ward Estella young Pip adores. But when a secret benefactor pays for him to go to London to become a gentleman, Pip never dreams he will meet the dreadful Magwitch again, nor just how wrong his expectations are.
Lightly abridged for Puffin Classic readers, with a gorgeous film tie-in cover.
