The Penguin English Library Edition of Great Expectations by Charles Dickens

What do you think that is?' she asked me, again pointing with her stick; 'that, where those cobwebs are?
I can't guess what it is, ma'am.
It's a great cake. A bride-cake. Mine!

Great Expectations, Dickens's funny, frightening and tender portrayal of the orphan Pip's journey of self-discovery, is one of his best-loved works. Showing how a young man's life is transformed by a mysterious series of events - an encounter with an escaped prisoner; a visit to a black-hearted old woman and a beautiful girl; a fortune from a secret donor - Dickens's late novel is a masterpiece of psychological and moral truth, and Pip among his greatest creations.

The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.

About Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens (1812-70) had his first astounding success with his first novel The Pickwick Papers and never looked back. In an extraordinarily full life he wrote campaigned and spoke on a huge range of issues and was involved in many of the key aspects of Victorian life by turns cajoling moving and irritating. He completed fourteen full-length novels and volume after volume of journalism. The magical opening scenes of Great Expectations draws heavily on his own love of north Kent which he had known as a boy and in which he lived as an adult.The Pickwick Papers Oliver Twist Nicholas Nickleby The Old Curiosity Shop Barnaby Rudge A Christmas Carol Martin Chuzzlewit Dombey and Son David Copperfield Bleak House Hard Times Little Dorrit A Tale of Two Cities Our Mutual Friend and The Mystery of Edwin Drood are also published in the Penguin English Library.
