Great Expectations: Manga Classics - Manga Classics Dickens

Marc Notes: 'Great Expectations' has it all: romance, mystery, comedy and unforgettable characters woven through a gripping rags-to-riches tale. Naive Pip, creepy Miss Haversham, beautifully cold Estella, terrifying Abel Magwitch, and the rest of Dickens' fantastic cast are perfectly envisioned in this new adaptation."
