Rediscover Charles Dickens's compelling story of poverty and wealth in this stunning collectible edition of Great Expectations.

Set in Victorian London, Great Expectations is the cautionary tale of a young man raised high above his station by a mysterious benefactor. Its remarkable characters, crime and poverty, and the bitterness of unrequited love are as relevant today as when the novel was first serialized in 1860-1861.

This elegantly designed edition includes:

  • A gorgeous faux-leather cover with foil-embossed designs
  • Introduction by scholar Grace Moore
  • Unabridged text
