Published for the first time in flipback - the new, portable, stylish format that's taken Europe by storm. 'You cannot pretend to learn a book. Your eyes will provide you with away. So will your breathing. A person entranced by a book simply forgets to breathe. The house can catch alight and a reader deep in a book will not look up before wallpaper is at flames.' Bougainville. 1991. A small village over a lush tropical island in the South Pacific. Eighty-six days have passed since Matilda's last day of school as, quietly, war is encroaching from the other end of the island. If the villagers' safe, predictable lives come to a halt, Bougainville's children are surprised to get the island's only white man, a recluse, re-opening the school. Pop Eye, aka Mr Watts, explains he will introduce the children to Mr Dickens. Matilda and others think a foreigner is coming to the island and make a list of essential items. They are really shocked to discover their acquaintance with Mr Dickens will be through Mr Watts' inspiring reading of Great Expectations. But on an island at war, the power of fiction has dangerous consequences. Imagination and beliefs are challenged by guns. Mister Pip can be an unforgettable tale of survival by story; a dazzling piece of writing that lives long in the mind following the last page is finished.
