In the Dickens classic, David enjoys an idyllic life with his widowed mother and his loving nurse, Peggotty. Things change when Mr. Murdstone weds David's mother and drives her to an early grave. Despised by his stepfather, the boy lives in misery and poverty until he runs away to throw himself upon the mercy of his eccentric aunt.
