Summary

David Timson talks about Charles Dickens, much loved for his great contribution to classic English Literature. Listen to A Christmas Carol narrated by Anton Lesser.

"A ghostly little book", said Charles Dickens of his famous Christmas novella, which first appeared in 1843. It has become the most famous classic Christmas story of all, with the miserly figure of Scrooge, the epitome of the callous employer; sadly crippled Tiny Tim; and the three spectres: the ghosts of Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and Christmas Future.

This audiobook continues the award-winning series of Dickens' works read by leading English classical actor Anton Lesser.

Just 5(!) minutes of introduction to "A ChristmasCarol", the rest a reading of parts of Dicken's novel. How does that make sense? Certainly not what it is advertised as.
