Great Expectations (Abridged‪)‬

This ever-popular story combines mystery, unrequited love, suspense and comedy with Dickens' own bitter-sweet memories of his impoverished childhood.

In Dickens' 1861 classic, Pip falls in love with Estella and is financed to become a gentleman by a mysterious benefactor. Memorable characters abound, from the bitter, abandoned Miss Havisham, to the big-hearted convict Abel Magwitch.

Masterfully read by Martin Jarvis who has been described in Vanity Fair as "the Olivier of Book Readers", at ease with comedy, tragedy, character interpretation and narration.
