Summary

 "Every idiot who goes about with 'Merry Christmas' on his lips should be boiled with his own pudding," says Ebenezer Scrooge. Mean old Scrooge despises Christmas until Christmas Eve, when a haunted voice from the past changes his life: overnight! Many know this story but few have experienced the true marvel of the tale.©2007 Public Domain (P)2007 Blackstone Audio, Inc. Classics Fiction Genre Fiction Holidays Winter Christmas Funny

Dickens was written to be read aloud. This classic Christmas tale is brought to life by the narrator, who adds colour to the words. I thoroughly enjoyed a tale narrated that I have read many times before. I would highly recommend this version.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

With a lot of travelling to do over the holiday period, I thought this might help to get me into the mood and pass the time spent on airplanes. Not only was this a good choice, but it rediscovered a classic in its original format. As a story that has been rewritten and adapte so many times for media, it was a true pleasure to hear it as Dickens intended.

What other book might you compare A Christmas Carol [Blackstone Version] to, and why?

As with all Dickens' work, it is the writing of a master craftsman that weaves a festive masterpiece.

What about Simon Prebble’s performance did you like?

Simon Prebble held my attention and narrated with sympathy for the narrative.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It made me fell very happy, festive, and determined to be more benevolent in future!

A truly classic tale that never fails to entertain. A cautionary tale for all the miserly people in the world and a positive message that it's never too late to change. Let kindness and gratitude prevail. Thoroughly enjoyed the reading
