David Copperfield: Charles Dickens

My name is David Copperfield and I was born in the county of Suffolk, in the east of England. This book is the story of my life. Will I be the hero of my own story? You must read it and decide for yourself.
When David Copperfield`s father dies, his mother is forced to marry Edward Murdstone, a cruel and domineering man. David`s early life is one of poverty and hardship. Finally the young boy runs away to Dover and takes refuge with a lost aunt. David goes on to make many friends and finds great success, but he must endure much suffering and loss along the way.
