Great Expectations
Great Expectations
''Hold your noise! Keep still, you little devil, or I''ll cut your throat!''
Little orphan Pip scarcely imagines how a terrifying encounter with a convict on the lonely marshes will later transform his life. Pip is more troubled by his visits to strange old Miss Havisham - her decaying wedding dress and the house full of memories - and the beautiful girl Estella who makes him ashamed of his country manners and coarse hands. A blacksmith''s apprentice could never hope to win Estella, but then, young Pip''s future might not turn out quite as expected...
Includes exclusive material: In ‘The Backstory’ you can learn about Victorian convicts and the alternative ending to Great Expectations!
