Binding: Hardcover
Description: In one of his most energetic and enjoyable novels Charles Dickens tells the life story of David Copperfield from his birth in Suffolk through the various struggles of his childhood to his successful career as a novelist. Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library; a series of stunning clothbound pocket sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful hardbacks make perfect gifts for book lovers or wonderful additions to your own collection. Dickens early scenes are particularly masterful depicting the world as seen from the perspective of a fatherless small boy. David's idyllic life with his mother is ruined when she marries again this time to a domineering and cruel man. David Copperfield is partly modelled on Dickens own experiences and one of the great joys of the book lies in its outlandish cast of characters including the glamorous Steerforth the cheerful verbose Mr Micawber the villainous Uriah Heep and David's eccentric aunt Betsey Trotwood. Dickens described it as his 'favourite child among his novels and it is easy to see why. This edition is complete and unabridged and features the original illustrations by H. K. Phiz Browne with an afterword by Sam Gilpin.
