The book is about a boy named David Copperfield and his life.
The story begins with he is birth and his life with his mother.
Later his mother get remarried with a hard and strict gentleman, Mr Murdstone. David don’t like Mr Murdstone at all, he don’t like that his mother married him.

Mr Murdstone sent David away to a boarding school, where the most of the pupils often get beaten. David became one of them.

There he meet many other boys and one of them, Steerforth, helps’ him very much, and they become good friends.

When David’s mother dies he is sent home, he stayed there and was mourning his lost. Mr Murdstone is sending miss Peggotty away and later he also send David away. He send him to a factory, to work, washing bottles, label them and put them in wooden cases.

He meets a beautiful little girl, miss Spenlow, who he marries. But after a few years she dies.
The book ends with David getting remarried with a much better young lady named miss Wickfield and they live happy together.

David, who is the principal part in the book have never seen his father because he died six month before David was born. So all he got is his mother and their servant miss Peggotty and he love them both.
He is a tall and thin gentleman with curly hair, who cares about his friends, he helps them when they need help.
