Description

‘This is no dusty relic, but instead something sparkling and modern’ Armando IannucciIn a wildly eventful life, David Copperfield moves from the cruelty of his stepfather’s care to the heights of success as a beloved and respected novelist. On his journey through Victorian society, he endures bitter treatment as a labourer, wins the approval of his formidable aunt, finds himself an education – and a career, falls in love, and expands his circle of acquaintance to include true, false and marvellously eccentric friends. Dickens’s own favourite among his novels, The Personal History of David Copperfield is a classic of comedy and tragedy that never ceases to surprise and delight.
