The novel tells the life of Pip, an orphan who, after helping an escaped convict, leaves his humble village to become a gentleman in London; on his rise, he encounters the eccentric Miss Havisham and the cold Estella, while a mysterious inheritance shows him that ambition and appearances hide a deeper truth.
The novel was originally published in 1861; the Puffin Classics edition dates from 1991, edited by Angus Calder with cover illustration by Mark Viney.
The novel is suitable for young people aged 13 and over and for those beginning with Victorian classics in English.
