A literary treasure is captivating international audiences on its latest journey abroad.
The original handwritten manuscript of Charles Dickens' Great Expectations, held by Wisbech and Fenland Museum, goes on show in Shanghai, China, this week (March 18), as part of a major touring exhibition.
Stephen McGregor, Chair of Wisbech and Fenland Museum, said: "The inclusion of Great Expectations in this important international exhibition once again highlights the breadth and significance of the collections here and the manuscript will be brought to a new audience.
"The manuscript will have been away from Wisbech for ten months but given the importance of the exhibition we are very pleased to support it and being able to participate is for the long-term good and standing of our museum."
The Writers Revealed exhibition, organised by the British Library and National Portrait Gallery, is a collaboration on world-changing thinkers and writers in English.
It previously attracted more than 30,000 visitors during its stay in Busan, South Korea.
Writers featured in the exhibition include William Shakespeare, Jane Austen, the Brontë sisters, and JK Rowling.
