Publisher Description

David Copperfield is the story of a boy growing to maturity in the affairs of the world and of the heart, surrounded by some of Dickens' most memorable characters: David's eccentric great-aunt, Miss Betsey Trotwood; the ever-optimistic Mr Micawber; jolly Peggotty and her willing husband Barkis; the charming Steerforth; the ever so 'umble Uriah Heep; and the foolishly innocent Dora.

But will David finally find happiness with the faithful Agnes Wickfield, whom he has known since childhood? And is her own future secure, threatened as it is by Uriah Heep, her father's clerk?

This full-cast audio dramatisation of the Dickens classic stars Miriam Margolyes, Timothy Spall, Phil Daniels, and Sheila Hancock.

"There is a rich tapestry of books in this world, each with its own aim, destination, destiny, etc. However, there are very few books in the world that leave you a better person than the one who picked up that particular book. Without the slightest amount of doubt or second-guessing, David Copperfield is one of, perhaps the, perfect example of that type of book. David Copperfield is...There are not enough compliments or just words in the world to explain the beauty, the perfection of this masterpiece. Apologies are kindly asked for the slightly dramatic reaction; however, feelings of truth accompany"

    " I feel like Dickens is a little uncool today because of his brazen sentimentality and crowd-pleasing tendencies. But the quality of the writing and plotting is always really high and, well, a little sentimentality and crowd-pleasing never killed anybody. Not as ambitious as Bleak House, so I won't give it the full 5, but almost everything here works except the unnecessarily rushed resolution. "
