Bound in real cloth, printed on high quality paper, and featuring ribbon markers and gilt edges, Macmillan Collector's Library are books to love and treasure. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn one of his most energetic and enjoyable novels, Dickens tells the life story of David Copperfield, from his birth in Suffolk, through the various struggles of his childhood, to his successful career as a novelist. The early scenes are particularly masterful, depicting the world as seen from the perspective of a fatherless small boy, whose idyllic life with his mother is ruined when his mother marries again, this time to a domineering and cruel man. The novel is partly modelled on Dickens's own experiences, but that is not to say that it is in any way a direct autobiography. Indeed, one of the great joys of the book lies in its outlandish cast of characters, which includes the glamorous Steerforth, the cheerful, verbose Mr Micawber, the villainous Uriah Heep, and David's eccentric aunt, Betsey Trotwood. Dickens described it as his 'favourite child' among his novels and it is easy to see why.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIllustrated by H K Browne 'Phiz', with an afterword by Sam Gilpin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e MacMillan Collector's Library\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/13\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509825394\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 1264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.10h x 4.00w x 2.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e139720 \/ David Copperfield\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.9 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 2\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Charles Dickens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36655595978908,"sku":"9781509825394","price":15.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_918582fb-a9c1-40ba-9b20-723425ff3838.jpg?v=1603886066","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/david-copperfield-9781509825394","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
