Charles Dickens' enduring coming-of-age novel is brought to you in a luxury hardback gift with gold embossing and striking printed page edges. 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. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Arcturus Treasured Classics series brings together celebrated literary masterworks, beautifully presented in hardback gift editions with cover embossing and printed page edges.
