From the rear cover: "The year before he died, Charles Dickens wrote of 'David Copperfield', 'Of all my books, I like this the best.' The story of the abandoned waif who develops a 'disciplined heart' through challenging encounters with distress and misfortune is a supreme example of Dickens' skill as a novelist. In this great work, plots and couterplots are interwoven into one intricate, grand design...and a huge gallery of individual characters comes alive. The malignantly treacherous Uriah Heep, the jovial nurse Peggotty, the foolishly innocent Dora, the improvident Mr. Micawber, the egotistic and charming Steerforh-these stand among literature's most remembered people."
