Dickens'' early scenes are particularly masterful, depicting the world as seen from the perspective of a fatherless small boy. David''s idyllic life with his mother is ruined when she marries again, this time to a domineering and cruel manDavid Copperfield is partly modelled on Dickens'' own experiences, and one of the great joys of the book lies in its outlandish cast of characters, including the glamorous Steerforth, the cheerful, verbose Mr Micawber, the villainous Uriah Heep, and David''s eccentric aunt, Betsey Trotwood.

Dickens described it as his ''favourite child'' among his novels – and it is easy to see why.
