About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Now a major film directed by Armando Iannucci, starring Dev Patel, Tilda Swinton, Hugh Laurie, Peter Capaldi and Ben Whishaw.

This Penguin Classic is performed by Ed Speleers. This definitive recording includes an introduction by Jeremy Tambling.

In David Copperfield - the novel he described as his 'favourite child' - Dickens drew on his own experiences to create one of his most moving and enduringly popular works, filled with tragedy and comedy in equal measure. It is the story of a young man's adventures on his journey from an unhappy childhood to the discovery of his vocation as a novelist. Among the gloriously vivid cast of characters he encounters are his tyrannical stepfather, Mr Murdstone; his brilliant but unworthy school-friend Steerforth; his formidable aunt, Betsey Trotwood; the eternally humble yet treacherous Uriah Heep; frivolous, enchanting Dora; and the magnificently impecunious Micawber, one of literature's great comic creations.

Superbly written and performed. I purchased this to listen to Ed Speleers, and he did not disappoint.

I enjoyed this reading. Some days while running, I need a distraction from the task and this was perfect. I would listen to more of his readings if he had any.

Thoroughly enjoyed Mr. Speleers
