To help raise pupils’ awareness of their rights, every month the Castlemilk High School library features one book that highlights articles from the UNCRC. Our pick for March is David Copperfield by Charles Dickens. This classic book links to a number of articles including:
28: Right to an education
27: Adequate standard of living
19: Protection from violence, abuse and neglect
David Copperfield lives happily with his mother and his nurse, Peggotty. Then his mother marries Mr Murdstone, and he and his sister come to live with them. Suddenly everything changes...
Full of tragedy and comedy in equal measure and based in part on the author’s own life, David Copperfield remains one of the most enduring and popular of Dickens’ novels.
