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 authors own life and providing a wealth of famous characters.Creepy Uriah Heep and the cruel Murdstones are here with faithful Peggoty and Davids 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).
