Great Expectations

Charles Dickens

These exquisite and collectible editions are published as a part of Penguin’s beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series. Designed by the multi-award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, the series features editions that are bound in high-quality, colorful, and tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design. Pip does not have very high expectations for his life… Her sibling makes it abundantly clear that her orphaned younger brother is nothing more than a burden for her to bear. However, all of a sudden, things start to alter. Pip’s narrow existence is blown to pieces when he discovers an escaped criminal, is summoned to visit a mysterious old woman, and meets the icy beauty, Estella. All of these events occur within a short period of time. The most incredible part of it all is that a complete stranger gives him money so that he can start a new life in London. Are these occurrences really as random as they appear to be? Or does Pip’s future depend on a string of unlucky coincidences he had no way of predicting?
