Choose Original Text or Quick Text
"I never saw my father or my mother, and never saw any likeness of either of them."
The year is 1812. A young orphan, who calls himself Pip, is kneeling beside the grave of his dead family. Shivering in the cold winter air and crying over the passing of his relatives, he is completely unaware that something is about to happen that will change his life forever.
Written at a difficult time in Dickens’s life, many consider Great Expectations to be his finest work; and this graphic novel has been painstakingly produced to do justice to this wonderful story.
As with all our Classic titles the period is faithful to the author’s intentions, and there is a choice of two text versions.
