A beautiful hardback for the price of a paperback. White’s Pocket Classics offer the best-loved classics in an irresistible small hardback with original illustrations embossed on the covers and all the features of a fine edition – coloured endpapers, marker ribbon, illustrated title pages and new typesetting – combining the best contemporary design with the luxury of a hardback and introductions by today’s popular authors, to make the most appealing classics available at a paperback price and a perfect gift. Great Expectations was published in 1860-61 and its story of admirable ambition overcoming social limitations has made it Dickens’ most popular novel.
