Best-selling novelist and award-winning audiobook narrator Alison Larkin changes the gender of Dicken’s most famous character in this dazzling new recording of Great Expectations. It's still the same thrilling story of youthful innocence, unexpected escape from cruel poverty, an old woman jilted at the altar, a beautiful, haughty, damaged young woman, and a mysterious financial gift that transforms the life of a young person. But one thing has changed. In this version, Pip is a woman.

皮普从小父母双亡，依靠性格暴戾的姐姐抚养长大，和亦师亦友的姐夫乔伊学习铁匠工作……皮普從小父母雙亡，依靠性格暴戾的姐姐撫養長大，和亦師亦友的姐夫喬伊學習鐵匠工作……

The story is told from the point of view of Pip, an orphan of humble origins who dreams of being a gentleman. From a chilling encounter with a convict when he was seven, through his coming of age and early adulthood, he tells of his "memorable days" and the "great changes" they wrought in him. Pip is apprenticed to kind-hearted Joe Gargery, the blacksmith, husband to his ill-tempered sister. On meeting the eccentric and reclusive Miss Havisham and her proud and haughty ward, the beautiful Estella, Pip becomes ashamed of his origins and hopes to one day better himself.

When young orphan, Oliver Twist, is sold into an apprenticeship with an undertaker, he leaves behind years of miserable servitude and mistreatment at an English workhouse.

It is there that the novel unravels as Oliver meets a host of larger-than-life characters, including The Artful Dodger, a high-ranking member of a juvenile pickpocketing gang, and their elderly leader, Fagin.

Der alte Ebenezer Scrooge ist ein hartherziger Geizkragen, wie man ihn im ehrwürdigen London wohl kaum ein zweites Mal antrifft. Seinem unterbezahlten Angestellten Bob Cratchit droht er regelmäßig mit Kündigung, wenn dieser es auch nur wagt einen Blick auf den Kohlenkasten zu werfen, um vielleicht das bitterkalte Kontor damit etwas aufzuheizen, für seine bedürftigen Mitmenschen hat er nur Geringschätzung übrig und Weihnachten hält er für geld- und zeitverschwendenden Humbug.

The Cricket on the Hearth is a homely tale about stout parcel carrier John Peerybingle; his small young wife, Dot; Caleb Plummer and his blind daughter, Bertha; their employer, the gruff old Mr. Tackleton, and his young bride-to-be; and what portentous consequences the arrival of a mysterious old man means for them all.
