Along the way, Dickens fills the story with some of his most memorable characters: the loyal Peggotty family, the ever-optimistic Mr. Micawber, and the slyly deceitful Uriah Heep.

But he also finds laughter and kindness, trust and friendship . . . and love.

"I am born" famously begins David Copperfield. However, this is a birth which is blighted by its timing: 12 o'clock on a Friday night at precisely the time the clock began to strike.
