Great Expectations

adapted by Gale Childs Daly 

from the novel by Charles Dickens 

In 19th-century England, Pip, an
orphan boy, has a life-changing
encounter on the moors when he helps
an escaped convict get food and free
himself from his leg irons. From this
one act of kindness, Pip starts on
a journey to manhood that is full of
unexpected twists and turns. When a mysterious benefactor sends
Pip to London to become a gentleman, all his wildest dreams come
true. Or do they? This thrilling tale of friendship, love, the nature of

generosity, and the price of revenge is one of the greatest coming-of-age stories in English literature.
