Great Expectations

A beautiful deluxe gift edition of Dickens`s irrepressible great novel, the story of Pip, the little boy with great expectations. It comes complete with foiled covers, marbled endpapers, sprayed edges, beautiful paper and finished with a silk ribbon. Pip`s life as an ordinary country boy is destined to be unexceptional until a chain of mysterious events lead him away from his humble origins and up the social ladder. His efforts to become a London gentleman bring him into contact not just with the upper classes but also with dangerous criminals. Pip`s desire to improve himself is matched only by his longing for the icy-hearted Estella, but secrets from the past impede his progress and he has many hard lessons to learn.
