It's Dickens at his best but the reading is poor. My humble advice is to listen carefully to the sample and then choose a different performance.

Try a different performance.

I think everyone must have heard or read some version of “A Christmas Carol”, of this much loved Dickens story, it appears to be faithful to Dickens story and I loved the narration by Peter Batchelor, a deep expressive, and mature British voice.

The price of the download is a bargain if you missed the Tom Baker version when it was on the advent offer. A great purchase at Christmas.

I already knew the story but it was told well and performed as you would imagine the characters to be. Its a must read classic.

a classic and a good performance

A classic story that I love, nothing can fault it. The narrator's voice is a low bass, so it's sometimes difficult to hear exactly what he's saying, especially if there's ambient noise in the room. But what irks me is the mobile phone "dit diddit dit diddit ditting" on the recording on several occasions. It jerks you out of the suspension of disbelief you need to get fully absorbed in fantasy, and makes you wonder if you're being visited by the Spirit of Nokia 3310s past. Definitely a shame, and having given this recording a chance for two years I'll be looking for another recording.

Incredible storytelling spoiled with strange noise
