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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Charles Dickens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56495270789445,"sku":"9780141198897","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/3721\/6069\/files\/9780141198897.jpg?v=1764260890","url":"https:\/\/stripyduckbookshopcafe.co.uk\/products\/9780141198897","provider":"The Stripy Duck Bookshop Café","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
