Description: Brought up by his cranky older sister, Pip has often found life a bit difficult. But his sister's husband, Joe, has always been kind and loyal to Pip—and that has made the boy's plain, honest working life tolerable.

Then one day, Pip is summoned to the home of rich, eccentric Miss Havisham. There he meets the old woman's beautiful, but haughty, niece, Estella. Pip is drawn to Estella, but she is so contemptuous of him that he soon feels that he can never be content with his humble life again.

Pip is determined to become a gentleman, and, when a mysterious stranger gives him a fortune, his dearest wish comes true. Surely, Pip has found happiness at last! Or is there more to true happiness than great wealth?
