Favorite Story

David Copperfield

Favorite Story presents radio adaptations of well-known works of literature. This recording features David Copperfield, Charles Dickens’s coming-of-age novel, following David from a difficult childhood toward adulthood as he encounters hardship, friendship, and changing fortunes.

The program brings a literary story to the radio through dramatic performance, using voices and sound to convey its characters and events. Dickens’s tale combines intimate personal struggles with a broad cast of people whose choices shape David’s life.

Its appeal lies in hearing a classic novel rendered as a compact radio drama: a story of resilience and self-discovery, with the warmth, humor, and emotional turns associated with Dickens’s writing.
