David Copperfield - Retold

The writer, Charles Dickens led a very cruel childhood, which he expressed in the form of novels. His father was arrested for debt., and he was forced to work in a factory. His money became the main income of the family, but he was treated very cruelly as a child labourer. This novel deals with troubles and misery of a young man, as Dickens was.

I was seeing this book at least thrice every month in the school library, but never showed interest to read it. The Cover Page had a name "David Copperfield", which was also boring. But one day, I decided to read it, and after reading, I realized what a wonderful novel it was. His aunt has left his mother when he was born, never to meet again as a boy was born. This young boy, David Copperfield loses his father before he was born, and later loses his mother. A person who re-marries her mother , treats him mercilessly. He is then sent to a factory to work, and when he couldn't work any more there, he escapes, writing a letter to Pegotty (who was his housekeeper) to send him some money to go to his aunt. He receives his money, but gets robbed very soon. He then goes to his aunt, walking all the way to Dover. She then adopts him, renaming him 'trot'. He starts out to become a lawyer, after 17, but couldn't continue as his aunt has run out of money.
I would not like to reveal the whole story here, so you read to find out what happens next!
