The treacherous Uriah Heep, the jovial nurse Peggotty, the adorably dim-witted Dora, the improvident Mr. Micawber and the egotistic and charming Steerforth come to life in this new adaptation of Dickens' classic. From seaside Yarmouth to London and beyond, as plots and counter plots effortlessly interweave into one intricate, grand design, David Copperfield captures the brightness, magic and terror of the world as seen through the eyes of a child: his bafflement turning to self-awareness and his young heart growing ever more disciplined and true.
