Songs About “Great Expectations”

A couple of weeks ago I started a series of posts featuring songs with the names of famous novels or characters or well-known phrases from literature. The first post featured Songs About "Lolita," then I promptly neglected to do any further literature-themed posts. Well, now is as good a time as any to resume the series. So...enjoy!  ~  JH
