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).
