![Cover of: The Personal History and Experience of David Copperfield the Younger by by Charles [CHAS.] Dickens [1812-1870]](http://covers.openlibrary.org/b/id/9183065-L.jpg)
Charles Dickens' 1850 classic epic, David Copperfield, unfolds the story of David, an optimistic and hard-working lad who's orphaned in his youth. Raised initially by his brutal stepfather, who halts David's schooling and sends him to work in a factory, David eventually finds a home with his eccentric, but kind aunt, Betsey. Later in life, David trains for a career in law, but eventually becomes a writer.
This copy of the edition is missing all of the illustrations and the pages prior to the TITLE PAGE of: ''The Personal History and Experience of David Copperfield the Younger.'' The first four pages following the TITLE PAGE [i, ii, iii & iv] also are missing. The full text however, is present and quite legible!

Edition Notes
The cover of this edition has shortened his name from Charles Dickens, to Chas. Dickens. I have never seen that on the cover of any other of his books. I was able to trace an ebook of this very edition, through the Haiti Trust, previously owned by and donated to the cause, by the University of Michigan. (Refer to Link of Babel Trust e-book within this file.) The publisher noted on the Title Page that this edition is a reprint of the First edition.

Work Description
David Copperfield is the eighth novel by Charles Dickens. The novel's full title is The Personal History, Adventures, Experience and Observation of David Copperfield the Younger of Blunderstone Rookery (Which He Never Meant to Publish on Any Account). It was first published as a serial in 1849–50, and as a book in 1850.
The novel features the character David Copperfield, and is written in the first person, as a description of his life until middle age, with his own adventures and the numerous friends and enemies he meets along his way. It is his journey of change and growth from infancy to maturity, as people enter and leave his life and he passes through the stages of his development.
