With his memorable characters and riveting storytelling, Charles Dickens is perhaps the most popular of all British novelists. This superb audio collection shows why. The semiautobiographical
David Copperfield tells the story of a young boy who endures a painful childhood before maturing into a successful novelist. Dickens’ own favorite among his novels, it contains some of
his most enduring characters, including Micawber and Uriah Heep. Oliver Twist, Dickens’ scathing portrayal of England’s treatment of the poor, is inhabited by another remarkable cast
of characters, from the Artful Dodger to Fagin, the evil leader of a band of boy thieves. The deeply moving Great Expectations finds the orphan boy Pip eagerly shedding his humble
origins to become a man of leisure when he inherits a mysterious fortune — but Pip finds his real troubles have just begun. The Dickens Trilogy is a perfect introduction for new
audiences and a delightful refresher for die-hard fans.
