Features: Charles Dickens once praised this book, saying, "Among all my works, I like this one the best. Like many parents, I have a favorite in my heart, and his name is David Copperfield." Don't you want to read it? The childhood of young David was filled with hardship. His father died before he was born, and when he was eight years old, his mother remarried. His stepfather, Mr. Murdstone, was cruel and harsh, and his stepmother, Miss Murdstone, was equally unfeeling and stern. David encountered many unkind people during his upbringing—such as the cruel headmaster, the cunning friend, and the malicious Uriah Heep. However, there were also kind-hearted people in David's life: the lovable nurse Peggotty, the taciturn and uncommunicative Mr. Wickfield, the seemingly stern but compassionate aunt, and the financially struggling Mr. and Mrs. Micawber. They sometimes rejoiced and sometimes worried, but always looked forward to a "turning point." There was also Agnes, a gentle and kind friend; and Dora, a lovely girl with golden hair and blue eyes, sweet and beautiful, innocent and pure.
