Publisher's summary

"A ghostly little book", said Charles Dickens of his famous Christmas novella, which first appeared in 1843. It has become the most famous classic Christmas story of all, with the miserly figure of Scrooge, the epitome of the callous employer; sadly crippled Tiny Tim; and the three spectres: the ghosts of Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and Christmas Future.

This audiobook continues the award-winning series of Dickens' works read by leading English classical actor Anton Lesser.

This version makes me feel like I’m in England with them. The voices are great.

Greatest narrator to an already amazing book

A Christmas Carol is one of my favorite books, but Anton Lesser makes this book so much more!

Dickens + Lesser = Magic

This is my second audiobook experienced with the unbeatable author-reader combination of Charles Dickens and Anton Lesser. Having just completed “The Old Curiosity Shop”, I was excited to learn just in time for Christmas that Mr. Lesser also narrated “A Christmas Carol”. I feel like I’ve never appreciated Dickens sufficiently before, and we definitely have a new Christmas tradition.

Anton Lesser brings A Christmas Carol to life

Anton Lesser’s calm narrator and grumpy Scrooge are the best out there. Back to the reading for me!

What can you say about a classic

Everyone knows the tale, but not everyone has read the book. I didn't, so I'm happy to say the book is equal to any movie or visual depiction I have seen. Dickens writes in peerless prose and it's worth reading just for that. The only character truly fleshed out is Scrooge himself, but that is enough to carry the book because it is only novella length.

The narrator is fantastic, with a broad range of voices and English accents, and always the right tone and inflection. A must-read for any fan of Christmas and good writing.
