The Penguin English Library Edition of Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
"What do you think that is?'' she asked me, again pointing with her stick; ''that, where those cobwebs are?"
"I can''t guess what it is, ma''am."
"It''s a great cake. A bride-cake. Mine!"
Great Expectations, Dickens''s funny, frightening and tender portrayal of the orphan Pip''s journey of self-discovery, is one of his best-loved works. Showing how a young man''s life is transformed by a mysterious series of events - an encounter with an escaped prisoner; a visit to a black-hearted old woman and a beautiful girl; a fortune from a secret donor - Dickens''s late novel is a masterpiece of psychological and moral truth, and Pip among his greatest creations.
