About this title

Synopsis

Designed to appeal to the book lover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautifully bound pocket-sized gift editions of much loved classic titles. Bound in real cloth, printed on high quality paper, and featuring ribbon markers and gilt edges, Macmillan Collector's Library are books to love and treasure.

One of Charles Dickens's most renowned and enjoyable novels, Great Expectations tells the story of Pip, an orphan boy who wishes to transcend his humble origins and is unexpectedly given the opportunity to live a life of wealth and respectability.

This edition is illustrated by various artists and features an afterword by David Pinching.

Over the course of the tale, Pip encounters such famous characters as Miss Havisham, Herbert Pocket and Joe Gargery, and comes to realise that his money is tainted and the girl he loves will not return his affections. Happiness must be found in the things he gave up in pursuit of a more sophisticated life.
