About this listen

A classic Christmas tale, lovingly recreated in this beautiful audio book.

The reviled Scrooge is visited by three spirits who teach him the real meaning of life.

The tale has been turned into rhyme, making this a delightful new twist to the story you know so well. Could it be a new addition to your Christmas traditions?

I first read A Christmas Carol while still at school a long time ago and I have seen numerous films of it, yet I still enjoyed hearing it yet again. The message in the story is an excellent one and it does no harm to be reminded of it once more! This version though was even more enjoyable, what with all the sound effects and the rhyme in it is superb -it is so witty and enjoyable.

I highly recommend this version of A Christmas Carol.

This is good fun, Very well performed by Liam Scott and with clever rhyming by Dave McCluskey throughout. This production is well produced with music and good quality effects of heavy clock chimes and thunder etc and wide variety of convincing characters. Recommended. I was gifted this in return for a review.

A lovely short listen, perfect for sitting in front of the fire with a mince pie and a baileys, or when wrapping presents. It's a bit Dr Seuss meets Charles Dickens. The performance is lovely, with background effects that make it really atmospheric.

A lovely new tradition, perfect for Christmas eve

Review:
A Christmas Carol is a well known story and it has been retold many times. I found this version to be particularly innovative. It's cleverly written and although it's relatively short at just over an hour long, it captures the atmosphere and spirit of the original version. The rhymes are not always what I expected. There is some dark  humour running through it and this version makes the original story accessible to every reader. 
The narration demonstrates brilliant characterisation, which means the recording is engaging from beginning to end. I also enjoyed the music and sound effects which enhance the atmosphere of the story. 
This is definitely a recording which I could listen to year after year, and take different messages from it each time.
