Retells the adventures in the northern wilderness of a dog who is part wolf and how he comes to make his peace with man.
David Copperfield is the story of a young man’s adventures on his journey from an unhappy and impoverished childhood to the discovery of his vocation as a successful novelist. Among the gloriously vivid cast of characters he encounters are his tyrannical stepfather, Mr Murdstone; his brilliant, but ultimately unworthy school-friend Steerforth; his formidable aunt, Betsey Trotwood; his nemesis, the eternally humble Uriah Heep; frivolous, enchanting Dora; and the magnificently impecunious Micawber, one of literature’s great comic creations. In David Copperfield – the novel he described as his ‘favourite child’ – Dickens drew revealingly on his own experiences to create one of his most exuberant and enduringly popular works, filled with tragedy and comedy in equal measure.
"'Every day, the Sheriff robs the ordinary people with high taxes, ' Robin said to the other outlaws. 'We should rob the Sheriff in return. But we will not rob him because we want to be rich. We will use the money to help the poor. We will not harm women, children or honest men. We will right wrongs when we can and we will bring hope to the people when we can. We will live outside the law because the law is only for rich men. We will fight these rich men's unfair laws.' "--Back cover
