DAVID COPPERFIELD
by Mary L. Watt
David Copperfield was a wonderful child.
Invented by Charles Dickens.
The 1800’s produced many of his
Fascinating books, some funny, some sad.
He wrote t hem so fast and furious
Some people thought him mad!
Mr. and Mrs. Macauber loved David so much.
After his miserable life in a strictly disciplined school.
Life there was so hard. They beat him daily.
Made him a slave. Worked in a factory
When he was very young.
Life was so terribly cruel.
Mr. Maucaber had to move away one day.
He could not take David with him.
David was alarmed!
He ran away to find an aunt
He knew would give him a home
Protect him from being harmed.
Thieves stole all his money.
He had to walk many long miles
When asleep by a tree
Someone stole his shoes
His feet were cut and bleeding.
Unfortunately the thief he did not see.
Euriah Heep was a strange, puny, deceitful man.
Unkind, cruel. He lived near the home where
David lived. David grew up with Agnes
The daughter of the school master.
Dora was his true heart’s attraction.
Where ever he was he thought of her.
His aunt changed his name to Trotwood.
Which he became known as later in life.
His adventures were exciting reading.
Gramma and I loved reading Dickens.
On summer days we’d sit under the trees,
Reading enjoying being together.
