David Copperfield, a classic novel by Charles Dickens, tells of a little boy's struggles against a wicked stepfather and other hardships as he grows to manhood. The story is also enlivened with many colorfully comic characters. Probably the funniest of them is the always-in-debt but ever hopeful Mister Micawber. Dickens claimed that David Copperfield was his favorite among his many fictional characters. This edition is paperback. The book is also available in a hardcover edition.
