David Copperfield (Pre-recorded MP3 player, Ubr)

David Copperfield firmly embraces the eternal freshness, the comic delights, the tender warmth, and the ghastly horrors of childhood. It is the timeless tale of a thoughtful orphan discovering how to live and love in a cutthroat, indifferent adult world. Of all Charles Dickenss novels, this is perhaps the most revealing, both of Dickens himself and of the society of his time. Certainly Copperfields experienceshis early rejection, child labor in a warehouse, experience as a journalist, and final success as a novelistare strikingly similar to Dickenss own. It is little wonder that Dickens said of it, Of all my books I like this the best; like many fond parents I have in my heart of hearts a favorite child. And his name is David Copperfield. Reader Davidson handles his task with exceptional skill, creativity and energy. KLIATT
