GREAT EXPECTATIONS (FLAME TREE COLLECTABLE CLASSICS)

Dicken’s cast of characters, from the orphan Pip, Miss Haversham and Estella to the aptly named Magwitch takes the reader through a Victorian society riven with social ills, and misplaced ambition.

Pip, a blacksmith’s apprentice encounters and helps the escaped convict Magwitch who subsequently repays the boy with a secret fortune. Pip misunderstands the source of elevation, thinking it comes from the high society of Miss Havisham and her cold-hearted daughter whom he adores.

His wilfull naivety is exposed throughout as Estella’s disdain for Pip makes him try ever harder, to the detriment of `Joe Gargery and Mrs Joe, the good people who raised him in poverty at the forge. 

Little treasures, the FLAME TREE COLLECTABLE CLASSICS are chosen to create a delightful and timeless home library. Each stunning, gift edition features deluxe cover treatments, ribbon markers, luxury endpapers and gilded edges. The unabridged text is accompanied by a Glossary of Victorian and Literary terms produced for the modern reader.
