A fresh and distinctive take on Charles Dickens semi-autobiographical masterpiece. The Personal History of David Copperfield is set in the 1840s and chronicles the life of its iconic title character as he navigates a chaotic world to find his elusive place within it. From his unhappy childhood to the discovery of his gift as a storyteller and writer, Davids journey is by turns hilarious and tragic, but always full of life, color and humanity.
