Puffin Classics: the definitive collection of timeless stories, for every child
Rediscover the Puffin Classics collection and bring the best-loved classics to a new generation - including this characterful new edition of David Copperfield, abridged for readers aged 9-12 years.
Of all my books, I like this the best - Charles Dickens
Full of tragedy and comedy in equal measure, and based in part on the author's own life, David Copperfield may be the definitive Victorian 'orphan tale', and remains one of the most enduring and popular of Dickens' novels.
Among the memorable cast of characters he encounters along the way are his brutal stepfather, Mr Murdstone; bubbly Nurse Peggotty; his brilliant, but unworthy schoolmate Steerforth, his eccentric aunt, Betsy Trotwood, the scheming clerk Uriah Heep, the enchanting Dora and the magnificent Mr Macawber - a character much like Dickens' own father.
This is an abridged edition of the classic novel, designed for younger readers.
