ALL TIME GREAT CLASSICS DAVID COPPERFIELD

The story is about a boy whose name is David Copperfield. David's father dies six months before David is born. Seven years later, David's mother marries Mr. Edward Murdstone. David does not like his stepfather as he thrashes David for falling behind with his studies. He is sent away to a boarding school, Salem House. In the meantime, his mother dies. He walks all the way from London to Dover to find his only relative, his aunt Miss Betsey. She decides to bring David up despite Mr. Murdstone's bid to regain custody of David. The entire story revolves round David as he grows to adulthood, and is enlivened by many well-known characters-Peggotty, little Em'ly, Steerforth, Micawber, Uriah Heep and, last but not the least, Agnes-who enter, leave and re-enter his life.
