Dickens, Charles: David Copperfield (Nab Audio CD 28-disc set)  

Nicholas Boulton
David Copperfield Unabridged.

The intensely personal David Copperfield (widely regarded to be the most autobiographical of the author’s novels) is one of Dickens’s greatest works. We follow David Copperfield from birth and miserable childhood to inevitable tragedies, until he finally finds happiness later in life. Full of some of the most memorable characters in literary history, Nicholas Boulton’s depiction of the oily Uriah Heep and David Copperfield’s sinister stepfather Murdstone, do the novel full justice.
