About This Item
Classic Charles Dickens, The novel's full title is The Personal History, Adventures, Experience and Observation of David Copperfield the Younger of Blunderstone Rookery (Which He Never Meant to Publish on Any Account). It was first published as a serial in 1849–50, and as a book in 1850. It is written in the first person, as a description of his life until middle age, with his own adventures and the numerous friends and enemies he meets along his way. It is his journey from being an impoverished, neglected child to a successful author. This printing was released 34 years after the original, and is in fair, readable condition. The cover has stains and shelf wear and the pages are quite yellowed, or browned from age, and a previous owner has written in the first couple of blank pages. The entire book however is still intact.
