Pip is a poor orphan, a boy with “no expectations” being raised
by his unkind sister and her husband in a small home on the marshes
of Kent. But when Pip meets the bizarre Miss Havisham and her

gentleman. However, Pip will discover that wealth and honesty do

surprising places. A love story, a mystery, and a sharp critique of
upper-class English society, Great Expectations remains one of

A Christmas Carol is the most famous, heart-warming and chilling
festive story of them all. In these pages we meet Ebenezer Scrooge,
whose name is synonymous with greed and parsimony: 'Every idiot who
goes about with "Merry Christmas" on his lips, should be boiled
with his own pudding, and buried with a stake of holly through his
heart'. This attitude is soon challenged when the ghost of his old
partner, Jacob Marley, returns from the grave to haunt him on
Christmas Eve. Scrooge is then visited in turn by three spirits of
Christmas Past, Present and Future, each one revealing the error of
his ways and gradually melting the frozen heart of this old miser,
leading him towards his redemption. On the journey we take with
Scrooge we encounter a rich array of Dickensian characters
including the poor Cratchit family with the ailing Tiny Tim and the
generous and jolly Fezziwig. When Charles Dickens wrote A Christmas
Carol in 1843 he fashioned an enduring gift to the world, capturing
the essence of the love, kindness and generosity of the Christmas
season. It is a timeless classic and the story's uplifting magic
remains as potent today as when it was first published.
Illustrated by one of the most popular artists working today.

The ghosts show Scrooge the true value of Christmas: charity, good
humour and love for his fellow man. Quentin Blake's colourful
illustrations guide the reader through Scrooge's lively journey to
find the meaning of Christmas. This unabridged edition contains a
foreword by the illustrator and is the ultimate Christmas gift
book.
The beautiful Nell is a thirteen-year-old orphan who lives with her
grandfather in a London bric-a-brac shop. Worried about his
charge’s future, the old man secretly gambles at night in order
to provide an inheritance for her, but finally loses the little he
has and is evicted from the shop by the evil hunchback and loan
shark Daniel Quilp, suffering a breakdown as a result. Forced to
leave the city, the young girl is left to take care of her
grandfather and protect herself from the scheming villains who are
hot on their heels. Dickens’s fourth novel, initially serialized
in his magazine Master Humprey’s Clock between 1840 and 1841, The
Old Curiosity Shop proved to be a huge hit on publication and is
still regarded as one of its author’s major works, featuring one
of his best-loved and most memorable heroines.

Considered by many to be Dickens' finest novel, Great Expectations
traces the growth of the book's narrator, Philip Pirrip (Pip), from
a boy of shallow dreams to a man with depth of character. From its
famous dramatic opening on the bleak Kentish marshes, the story
abounds with some of Dickens' most memorable characters. Among them
are the kindly blacksmith Joe Gargery, the mysterious convict Abel
Magwitch, the eccentric Miss Haversham and her beautiful ward
Estella, Pip's good-hearted room-mate Herbert Pocket and the
pompous Pumblechook. As Pip unravels the truth behind his own
'great expectations' in his quest to become a gentleman, the
mysteries of the past and the convolutions of fate through a series
of thrilling adventures serve to steer him towards maturity and his
most important discovery of all - the truth about himself.
