David Copperfield

Paperback

Condition: Very Good

David Copperfield is the story of a young man's adventures on his journey from an unhappy and impoverished childhood to the discovery of his vocation as a successful novelist. Among the gloriously vivid cast of characters he encounters are his tyrannical stepfather Mr Murdstone; his brilliant but ultimately unworthy school-friend Steerforth; his formidable aunt Betsey Trotwood; his nemesis the eternally humble Uriah Heep; frivolous enchanting Dora; and the magnificently impecunious Micawber one of literature's great comic creations. In David Copperfield - the novel he described as his 'favourite child' - Dickens drew revealingly on his own experiences to create one of his most exuberant and enduringly popular works filled with tragedy and comedy in equal measure.
