Epic stories? Dickens proves the old-timers still do it best in this classic tale of romance, secrets, betrayals & great fortunes. One day, Pip will be rich. A stranger has left him a great fortune. He doesn’t know who it is – but he’s pretty sure. There’s only one person it could be: wealthy recluse Miss Havisham. No doubt she intends Pip to marry Estella, her beautiful ward. Now it’s goodbye to the humble forge where Pip grew up, & to kindly blacksmith Joe, who has raised Pip like a son. It’s time for Pip to become a gentleman: snobbish, arrogant & cruel. When will Pip figure out that waiting for greatness matters less than being a decent person right now? Probably Charles Dickens’ most famous & best-loved novel Brilliant storytelling to rival Oliver Twist & A Christmas Carol A powerful coming-of-age tale of identity, social class & values Rich cast of characters & a stunningly evoked Victorian backdrop Supplied as a pack of 30 copies. reading-spine-year-9 reading-spine-ks 3 rbmember summer-18 sum-18
