Great Expectations (1992): With an Introduction and Notes by John Bowen; Illustrations by Marcus Stone (Wordsworth Classics edition) By Charles Dickens

Considered by many to be Dickens' finest novel, Great Expectations traces the growth of its narrator, the orphan Philip Pirrip (Pip), from boyhood to maturity as he pursues his 'great expectations' to become a gentleman, encounters memorable characters such as Joe Gargery and Miss Havisham, and uncovers the truth about his past and himself.
