Story
Wilkie Collins' follow-up to The Woman in White and No Name is an innovative take on mistaken identity, the nature of evil, and the dark underbelly of Victorian England. The story concerns two distant cousins, both named Allan Armadale, and the impact of a family tragedy, which makes one of them a target of the murderous Lydia Gwilt, a vicious and malevolent charmer determined to get her hands on the Armadale fortune. Will the real Allan Armadale be revealed, and will he survive the plot against his life?

Story
The holidays are upon us, and this year Audible is very happy to present to our members one of Charles Dickens’ most popular Christmas stories, The Cricket on the Hearth. This holiday classic (original subtitle: “A Fairy Tale of Home”) tells the innocent, picturesque, and charming story of a poor family and their would-be guardian angel; in short, a delightful vision of Victorian Christmas. As always, a great story calls for a great voice, so we’ve brought in legendary actor and record-breaking Audie and Grammy award-winning narrator Jim Dale ( The Night Circus). Happy holidays and happy listening!

Outstanding narrators
A Christmas bonus with three outstanding narrators: Jason Isaacs, David Rintoul, and Jonathan Keeble. If you want the full Dickens Christmas experience, start around December 19th or 20th and listen to one track a day. This will take you up to around January 6th or 7th. (One of the chapters of the original text has been split between two tracks, so there are actually 19 “chapters” in the audio.) Jason Isaacs gives a somewhat angrier performance as Early Scrooge than others I’ve listened to, but I liked it a lot. (Compare his repeated exclamations of “Good afternoon!” with the way other narrators — Hugh Grant, for example — have done it. I’m not saying one is better than the other, only that I personally responded more deeply to Isaacs’ reading.) This is an all-around treat.
