編輯推薦
適讀人群 :6-9歲 Great Expectations is widely regarded as one of the greatest novels by this acclaimed author. Our special edition of Dickens' thrilling book sparkles with some of the gems of The New York Public Library's collections: original drawings executed for 19th century editions of the novel; Dickens' handwritten letters and journals; and a fascinating selection of personal mementos (including Dickens' writing desk)-all of which speak eloquently of the writer and his vividly rendered imaginary world.

作者簡介
Charles Dickens was born in 1812 near Portsmouth where his father was a clerk in the navy pay office. The family moved to London in 1823, but their fortunes were severely impaired. Dickens was sent to work in a blacking-warehouse when his father was imprisoned for debt. Both experiences deeply affected the future novelist. In 1833 he began contributing stories to newspapers and magazines, and in 1836 started the serial publication of Pickwick Papers. Thereafter, Dickens published his major novels over the course of the next twenty years, from Nicholas Nickleby to Little Dorrit. He also edited the journals Household Words and All the Year Round. Dickens died in June 1870.
