Book Description

September 1999 Audio Editions
In the most famous of Charles Dickens's works, wealthy miser Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by three mysterious spirits on Christmas Eve. As they escort him into Christmases past, present, and future, Scrooge learns how his selfishness affects those around him, even Tiny Tim, the disabled son of his assistant.

Dickens often performed dramatized readings of his works on stage to tremendous critical acclaim. Since he wrote with performance in mind, his books are especially suited to audio rendition.

Editorial Reviews

From AudioFile

Charles Dickens loved to read his own words to his audiences. Since he can't do that now, he would possibly settle for someone else doing the narration, and he'd be hard-pressed to find a reader more able than Miriam Margolyes. Her rendering of everyone's wintertime favorite, A CHRISTMAS CAROL, is masterfully done, with a remarkable range of vocal talent capturing this tale of Scrooge and his redemption from a miserly existence. She excels at Marley and the three ghosts, making each of them distinctive according to his role in the proceedings as Scrooge visits his past, present, and future. Margolyes is drama personified, loud, soft, plaintive, frightened, annoyed, sorrowful and, finally, rejoicing. Top marks for this one; Dickens would be delighted. T.H.

This review is from: A Christmas Carol (Audio Editions) (Audio Cassette)
The Christmas season wouldn't be complete without listening to this excellent book on tape. Miriam Margolyes is masterful at creating voices that make you forget the reader is a woman! I love this audiobook!
