Publisher's Summary
First published in 1850, David Copperfield was Charles Dickens "favourite child" among his novels and his most autobiographical. Laurence Olivier both narrates the tale and stars as Wilkins Micawber, the ever-optimistic wastrel for whom “something will turn up.”
Sent from home as a child by his unfeeling stepfather, Mr. Murdstone, David Copperfield suffers misery cleaning out wine bottles (just as Dickens himself had suffered as a child working in a blacking factory), but finds contentment lodging with the Micawbers’. Yet soon Wilkins Micawber and his ever-loyal wife are incarcerated as debtors in the King’s Bench Prison. Released, they set off for Plymouth, leaving young David alone once more.
