Partly modelled on his own life--although in no way a direct autobiography--David Copperfield follows a young boy's life, from his birth in Suffolk, through the trials and tribulations of childhood (including his mother's death), to his triumphant success as a novelist. The masterful early scenes, in particular, capture the perspective of a fatherless boy whose idyllic life with his mother and his nurse is destroyed when his mother marries a domineering and cruel man. The cast is filled with colorful and unforgettable characters, from the glamorous Steerforth and cheerful Mr. Micawber to the villainous Uriah Heep. Dickens described it as his favorite child among his novels, and it is easy to see why. The world's greatest works of literature are now available in these beautiful keepsake volumes. Bound in real cloth, and featuring gilt edges and ribbon markers, these beautifully produced books are a wonderful way to build a handsome library of classic literature. These are the essential novels that belong in every home. They'll transport readers to imaginary worlds and provide excitement, entertainment, and enlightenment for years to come. All of these novels feature attractive illustrations and have an unequalled period feel that will grace the library, the bedside table or bureau.
