Charles Dickens

When young Pip accidentally meets a convict out in the marsh one Christmas Eve, he has no idea that his life is about to change - forever. The amazing events following that encounter, and the strange tale of Miss Havisham and her adopted daughter Estella, have made Great Expectations a must-read since it was first serialized in 1860. Now, young readers can enjoy Dickens' engrossing story in this simplified yet thrilling version.

This volume collects all of Dickens's little-known excursions into verse, some included in better-known works and some produced for collaborations or private purposes which are almost impossible to find in print.

This volume collects a large selection of Dickens's occasional writing, some of it written for volumes or as one-off contributions to periodicals, but mostly for The Examiner and the two periodicals he edited himself. These short pieces, including journalistic comment, fictional satire, book and theatre reviews, and other less generically idenitifiable writings, present Dickens's views and concerns in a direct and vigorous way, giving insights often only hinted at in his novels.
