This is a full-cast recording of Charles Dickens' classic holiday favorite A Christmas Carol, the tale of miserly old Ebenezer Scrooge.
It is Christmas Eve, and the air outside is as cold as Scrooge's heart. Come nightfall, Scrooge receives three visitors: the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future. Each spirit takes him on a hair-raising journey through time, yielding glimpses of Tiny Tim and Bob Cratchit - and even Scrooge's painfully hopeful younger self. Will Scrooge's heart be opened? Can he escape his cursed fate?

"Vanaf de eerste zin een genot om te lezen, blijft heerlijk. Grappig hoe iedereen het verhaal kent, en heel weinig mensen het boek daadwerkelijk gelezen hebben, zou ik iedereen aanraden. Ook een leuke om er een beetje "in te komen" met lezen van Dickens. Wel echt in het Engels lezen, geen vertaling." — Miriam (5 out of 5 stars)

" A wonderfully classic Christmas tale. I'm glad to have finally read the original version instead of the watered-down ones for children. "
" I loved reading this story finally. There are quite a lot of humorous lines that you could never get in the movies. Referring to an annotated version helped to explain a few of the passages that I didn't understand. I found the whole book fascinating. "
" I loved reading this at Christmas time. Reflective, yet a quick read. "
" I read this one every year, sometimes more than once. It's just impossible to not love this story. "
" "As Tiny Tim observed, God Bless Us, Every One!" "
" Can't beat mr. Ratte reading it at LC at Xmas every year!, "
" A Christmas Carol is awesome. Tim Curry is awesome. The end. "
" I ordered this edition to read to my kids this year during the holidays. Although the language was more mature for the young ones, they loved looking at the beautiful pictures that accompanied the story. "
" We've all watched A Christmas Carol in various versions but reading the original tale should be on everyone's list at least once in their lifetime. "
" I read this most Christmas seasons - to get in the "Spirit" of Christmas. I enjoy almost everything I've read by Dickens. I enjoy his style, and I feel I am reading words of value when I read his novels. "
" Wordy and joking. Weird to read after all the dark or expanded movie versions. Makes the "what day is this?" line make more sense, since the ghost of Christmas present drags him on a "long" journey to many celebrations and messes with his sense of time. "
" A timeless classic. No review is needed for this book. "
" This should be mandatory reading every Christmas vacation. "
" the greatness of this story of redemption needs no defense, and Dickens doesn't get enough respect for being funny. "
" I never read this, just have seen lots of representations in movies, pop culture, etc.! A lovely little story. I will try to read it every year at Christmastime. "
" In my personal opinion, Dickens is a master author. "
