Description: His novels will endure as long as the language itself Peter Ackroyd Dickens's haunting late novel depicts the education and development of a young man Pip as his life is changed by a series of events - a terrifying encounter with an escaped convict in a graveyard on the wild Kent marshes; a summons to meet the bitter decaying Miss Havisham and her beautiful cold - hearted ward Estella; the sudden generosity of a mysterious benefactor - and he discovers the true nature of his 'great expectations'. This definitive edition includes appendices on Dickens's original ending giving an illuminating glimpse into a great novelist at work.
