This collection combines three volumes of the Best of Women's Short Stories. Acclaimed for an unusual mix spanning the sexes, amongst these twenty-six stories are A Young Girl's Confession by Marcel Proust, The Legacy by Virginia Woolf, The Parvenue by Mary Shelley, and The Watsons, an early novella by Jane Austen.
A master of characterisation, Charles Dickens introduces us to yet another memorable creation in the form of David Copperfield, the undisputed favourite of all his fictional children.
When David Copperfield escapes from the cruelty of his childhood home, he embarks on a journey to adulthood which leads him through comedy and tragedy, love and heartbreak, and friendship and betrayal.
