Great Expectations

watercolour - The Courtyard of Barnard's Inn
James Lawson Stewart, The Courtyard of Barnard's Inn , 1890, (book illustration)

By Charles Dickens, ed. and notes by Charlotte Mitchell, London: Penguin Books, 2003

Another late novel by Dickens, the orphaned Pip receives an inheritance and proceeds directly to London  where is job is to become a gentleman.  Freaky Miss Havisham living year after year in her wedding dress is my favorite character.  OK, Dickens is over!  Tick!  On to the next book!
