A beloved classic adult novel skilfully abridged to inspire and engage a new generation of middle-grade readers, from a multi-award-winning author.

Young orphan Pip, downtrodden by his guardian sister, has a terrifying meeting with an escaped convict. Soon afterwards he is invited to play at the gloomy, cobwebbed house of unhappy Miss Havisham, where he is humiliated by her beautiful ward, Estella. Pip falls in love with the girl, despite her disdain for his ignorance and rough appearance, and begins his apprenticeship to his blacksmith brother-in-law feeling ashamed of his lowly home.

Then Pip is told he is to be brought up as a wealthy gentleman, and he delightedly assumes his secret benefactor to be Miss Havisham, planning him as a match him for Estella. When he discovers this is not the case, his heart is broken and his loyalties torn.

What is the connection between Miss Havisham and the mysterious convict? And will Pip ever win Estella’s heart?

作者简介

查尔斯·狄更斯 (1812-1870) 被公认为维多利亚时代伟大的小说家。他的作品包括《大卫·科波菲尔》、《雾都孤儿》和《远大前程》等经久不衰的经典之作，深受当代读者的喜爱，并让几代读者着迷。《圣诞颂歌》——狄更斯称之为他的“幽灵小书”——一经出版便大获成功，人们通常认为它开创了现代圣诞节的形式。

A.L. Kennedy 很久以前出生在苏格兰的一个小镇，她为成人和儿童写过书，但主要是成人。在此之前，她编故事自娱自乐。她的工作是她喜欢的事情之一，这让她一直感到惊讶，她非常感激能成为一名作家。她的书曾在多个国家获奖。她游历过世界各地，非常享受其中。她弹班卓琴弹得不好，但她从不在别人身边弹奏，以此来弥补这一点。

Charles Dickens (1812-1870) is generally regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian age. His work, which includes such enduring classics as David Copperfield, Oliver Twist and Great Expectations, was immensely popular with contemporary audiences and has continued to fascinate readers for generations. A Christmas Carol was an immediate success on publication and is often credited with inventing the modern form of Christmas.

A.L. Kennedy was born in a small Scottish town far too long ago and has written books for adults and youngsters, but mainly adults. Before that she made up stories to amuse herself. It has always surprised her that her job involves doing one of the things she loves most and she’s very grateful to be a writer. She has won awards for her books in several countries. She has travelled all over the world and enjoyed it immensely. She plays the banjo badly, but makes up for this by never playing it anywhere near anyone else.
