About The Book

Puffin Clothbound Classics are stunning collectable gift editions of some of the best-loved classics in the world – including this irresistible 175th anniversary edition of David Copperfield.

Of all my books, I like this the best – Charles Dickens

Full of tragedy and comedy in equal measure and based in part on the author’s own life, David Copperfield remains one of the most enduring and popular of Dickens’ novels.

Among the memorable cast of characters he encounters along the way are his brutal stepfather, Mr Murdstone; bubbly Nurse Peggotty; his brilliant, but unworthy schoolmate Steerforth, his eccentric aunt, Betsy Trotwood, the scheming clerk Uriah Heep, the enchanting Dora and the magnificent Mr Macawber – a character much like Dickens’ own father.

About the Author

Charles Dickens was born in Hampshire on February 7, 1812. His father was a clerk in the navy pay office, who was well paid but often ended up in financial troubles. When Dickens was twelve years old he was send to work in a shoe polish factory because his family had been taken to the debtors’ prison. His career as a writer of fiction started in 1833 when his short stories and essays began to appear in periodicals. The Pickwick Papers, his first commercial success, was published in 1836. The serialisation of Oliver Twist began in 1837.
