Description: An epic tale of a young orphan's rise from rags to riches.

When young Pip is accosted in the graveyard by Magwitch, an escaped convict, and forced to help him, he little knows that their lives are destined to cross in future years.

Pip's upbringing with his kindly uncle Joe, his involvement with the crazy world of the eccentric Miss Haversham and her beautiful young ward, the icy Estella, and then a new life in London, are all part of this classic story of a boy discovering the reality of 'great expectations'.
