Publisher Comments:

When David Copperfield escapes from the cruelty of his childhood home, he embarks on a journey to adulthood which will lead him through comedy and tragedy, love and heartbreak and friendship and betrayal. Over the course of his adventure, David meets an array of eccentric characters and learns hard lessons about the world before he finally discovers true happiness.

“The most perfect of all the Dickens novels.” -Virginia Woolf

His works include The Adventures of Oliver Twist, Bleak House, A Christmas Carol, Great Expectations, The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby, and A Tale of Two Cities. Phiz is the pseudonym of Hablot Knight Browne, the English artist who was the illustrator of several Charles Dickens books in their original editions.

: Kristen M, January 29, 2010 (view all comments by Kristen M)
Any summary of this novel will be lacking because much of the value of it is in the well-written and diverse characters. Each of the characters has something to add to the story which is why David, in starting the book, uses the words that he does -- that he may or may not be the hero of his own story. This book is often overlooked because of the simple title and the prejudice against Dickens but it is really a fantastic story.
