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.
