Hello and welcome to Story Time for Grownups.

I'm Faith Moore, and this season we're reading David Copperfield by Charles Dickens.

Each episode I'll read a few chapters from the book,

ready to listen to some more David Copperfield because I'm ready to read some more to you. Thank you so

in twice a week. So welcome, welcome to the world of David Copperfield. So I don't have any new

announcements today, but all of the same reminders apply.
