## Description

Rediscover the Puffin Classics collection and bring the best-loved classics to a new generation - including this charming edition of Great Expectations, abridged for younger readers. As a small boy at Joe Gargery's forge, Pip meets two people who will affect his whole life - an escaped convict he is forced to help, and the eccentric Miss Haversham, whose beautiful, cold-hearted ward Estella young Pip adores. But when a secret benefactor pays for him to go to London to become a gentleman, Pip never dreams he will meet the dreadful Magwitch again, nor just how wrong his expectations are. . . This is an abridged edition of the classic novel, designed for readers aged 9-12.
