“With many lovers of the author’s works ‘David Copperfield’ ranks as the finest of his writings. With a book which gave to the world such characters as Betsy Trotwood, Micawber, the Pegottys and Mr. Dick, to mention only a few, it would have been strange if it had been otherwise” (Eckel, p. 77).

Frank Reynolds fine colour plates bring these characters vividly to life.
