"David Copperfield, Dickens's most popular book since it was first published over 150 years ago, is brought to life in this BBC adaptation by a world-class cast including Daniel Radcliffe, Maggie Smith, Bob Hoskins, Nicholas Lyndhurst, Ian McKellen, Imelda Staunton and Dawn French. Dickens' most autobiographical book, David Copperfield tells the moving story of David's journey from birth to maturity, a journey which links his life with some of the most colorful, extraordinary characters including the flamboyant Mr. Micawber, eccentric Aunt Betsy Trotwood, the kindly Peggotty family, the cruel Murdstones, the ever so humble Uriah Heep, and loyal, loving Agnes Wicklow. David navigates through a life fraught with hardships and challenges, unexpected joys and even love."--Container.
