Description
The story of David Copperfield (1850) began as a memoir of Dickens’ boyhood experiences in a blacking factory and grew into one of his most popular novels, echoing aspects of the author’s own life and providing a wealth of famous characters. Creepy Uriah Heep and the cruel Murdstones are here, with faithful Peggoty and David’s formidable Aunt Betsey Trotwood; not forgetting the ever-optimistic Mr Micawber, who is a portrait of Dickens’ own improvident father. This edition contains the original illustrations by ‘Phiz’ (Hablot Knight Browne). ABOUT THE SERIES: The Arcturus Classics series brings together high-quality paperback editions of classics works, presented with contemporary graphic cover designs. Together they make a wonderful collection which is perfect for any home library.
