David Copperfield, the novel by Charles Dickens, is

a story of one boy's struggle after losing his parents.

David's father dies when he is young, and his mother

remarries. His stepfather, Mr Murdstone, treats David

unkindly, and he can only find happiness with the

Peggoty family, his nurse's relatives. At school, at first he

is unhappy but then wins his friends' respect. However,

when his mother dies, his stepfather sends him to work

in a factory in London, where the other boys make fun

of him. David runs away and walks to his aunt's house

in Dover. Here he grows up happily, goes to school

and becomes a clerk in a lawyer's office in London. He

falls in love with Dora, his employer's daughter, and

when his aunt's money is los t in a bad investment, he

works writing reports of parliament for the newspapers.

Many parts of the story follow the events of Dickens'!
