Great expectations / Charles Dickens ; retold by Clare West.

West, Clare, (author.). Dickens, Charles, 1812-1870 Based on (work): Great expectations. (Added Author).

Summary:

"In a gloomy, neglected house Miss Havisham sits, as she has sat year by year, in a wedding dress and veil that were once white, and are now faded and yellow with age. Her face is like a death's head; her dark eyes burn with bitterness and hate. By her side sits a proud and beautiful girl, and in front of her, trembliing with fear in his thick country boots, stands young Pip. Miss Havisham stares at Pip coldly, and murmers to the girl at her side: "Break his heart, Estella. Break his heart!"--Back cover.
