“Dickens wrote of David Copperfield: ‘Of all my books I like this the best’. Millions of readers in almost every language on earth have subsequently come to share the author’s own enthusiasm for this greatly loved classic, possibly because of its autobiographical form.”
“Following the life of David through many sufferings and great adversity, the reader will also find many light-hearted moments in the company of a host of English fiction’s greatest stars including Mr Micawber, Traddles, Uriah Heep, Creakle, Betsy Trotwood, and the Peggoty family.”

/ February 13, 2012Just 2 discs in, and this story is leaving me feeling totally miserable. It’s the inevitability of the harsh treatment that David gets at the hands of his stepfather, and the awfulness of the situation his mother gets herself trapped in. Why did these women bother with marriage? What has she gained from it? How many women and children are living in these abusive relationships behind the closed doors of Britain today? I don’t think I can really go on with it…
