Great Expectations - whole school reading during 2010

Our Lady's Abingdon shares its 150th anniversary with Charles Dickens' novel Great Expectations. It was published in instalments, starting in 1860, and my aim is that as many students and adults associated with the school read the book over the year, with book group discussions for anyone interested. There are 59 short chapters so five chapters will appear, in monthly instalments, on the Library pages on the school intranet. There are also printed copies, including abridged and play versions, available for loan from the Library.
Start reading Chapters 1- 5 now!
As the book is out of copyright there are also web versions available.
