"What do you think that is?' she asked me, again pointing with her
stick; 'that, where those cobwebs are?"
"I can't guess what it is, ma'am."
"It's a great cake. A bride-cake. Mine!"

Great Expectations, Dickens's funny, frightening and tender

portrayal of the orphan Pip's journey of self-discovery, is one of his
best-loved works. Showing how a young man's life is transformed
by a mysterious series of events - an encounter with an escaped
prisoner; a visit to a black-hearted old woman and a beautiful girl; a
fortune from a secret donor - Dickens's late novel is a masterpiece of
psychological and moral truth, and Pip among his greatest creations.
