Charles Dickens’ Christmas classic—written in time for the 1843 holiday season—sold out its initial printing of 6,000 copies in one day. It remains Dickens’ most widely read and best-loved work, guaranteed to warm and uplift with the simplicity of its message and the depth of its honest truths.

Bah! Humbug! It’s Christmas Eve and miserly Ebenezer Scrooge is in a foul temper—good cheer and joyful spending turn his very insides to vinegar. But before Scrooge sees the dawn break on yet another miserable Christmas morning, he will have come face-to-face with a parade of startling apparitions, and most disconcerting of all—himself.

Editorial reviews

Frank Muller’s performance is outstanding in this audiobook of Dickens’s holiday classic. Muller seizes every opportunity to extract emotion, meaning, nuance, and subtlety from each word and each situation. Each character has a different voice, each moment has its own intensity, and there is no better "Bah! Humbug!" anywhere in audio. Muller’s intelligent interpretation takes the well-known story and breathes new life into each scene. He makes listening to each description, whether of an unforgettable person such as Tiny Tim, a recognizable place such as the Cratchit house, or a familiar moment such as Christmas morning, as fresh as if one is hearing it for the first time.

There are a million options out there, with ‘special’ narrations by famous people. But Frank Muller was simply the best of them all. He may have other books with flashier characters (King’s Green Mike for one) but he could do Dickens as good as anyone. This is the very best Christmas Carol to be found!

I love this story so much. I read it every Christmas and have to watch every film and television version of it each Christmas season. There's so much to love about it, and it never gets old. To hear it read by Frank Muller makes it even so much more wonderful. I am still sad years later that Frank's life was cut short, especially when he just found out the news he was about to be a father. He was the greatest audiobook narrator I've ever heard, and he will be missed tremendously. Thank you Mr. Muller for giving my family even more Christmas cheer and tradition long after you're gone. If you love Christmas, this can not be missed! Frank Muller brings it to life in sound just as beautifully as Dickens did on paper. God bless us, every one!

Masterful narration.

I first heard this version of A Christmas Carol in 1989 after checking it out from the Dallas library. No other version I have heard since then was as satisfying. I couldn’t remember who the publisher was or who the narrator was but I never stopped trying to find it again. The moment I listened to the sample I knew my long search was finally over. I shed tears of joy throughout the production. It was just as perfect as I remembered. After decades of yearning, I have finally come “home” for Christmas.

This is what Christmas sounds like
