"My name was Philip Pirrip. When I was a small child, I couldn't say this, so I called myself Pip." Pip is a young man from humble beginnings. He abandons his old life to become a gentleman after several occurrences: a frightening meeting with an escaped prisoner; a call to meet with the bitter, old Miss Havisham and the beautiful but cold-hearted Estella; and the sudden generosity of a stranger. The story of Pip's Great Expectations is accompanied by fabulous artwork which sends the reader straight to Dickens's Victorian England.
