Publisher's summary

Award-winning actor, director, and playwright Tom Mula performs his best-selling version of Scrooge’s ordeal, told from the point of view of Scrooge’s former business partner: Marley’s ghost!

“Scrooge? I have to redeem old Scrooge? The one man I knew who was worse than I was? Impossible!”

So begins the real story behind Dickens’ A Christmas Carol - the story of Marley’s heroic behind-the-scenes efforts to save old Scrooge’s soul - and in the process, save his own. Aided by a Bogle, a malicious little hell-sprite with an agenda of his own, their hilarious journey takes them from the jaws of death to the gates of Hell - and beyond! This irreverent, funny, and ultimately, deeply moving story retells Dickens’ classic with warmth and infectious zest.

This audiobook was broadcast for seven seasons on National Public Radio. Complete with a brilliant score by Lawrence Schanker, with sound by Robert Neuhaus and production by Steve Rashid, this thrilling performance is sure to become a holiday classic for generations to come!

Really good

I liked this story a lot. The narration was really good and I’d love this to become a series

The other side of the tale

Delightful take on the participation of the other partner. Someone pointed out that Dickens completed his story in a hurry, and if he'd had more time, he might have done something like this. Tom Mula makes an excellent reader, and knows exactly what expressions to use for his characters. Try it, you'll love it.

Not quite what I expected

A beautiful tale of redemption and courage. And it was a wonderful performance that warmed my heart and left me with a fuller joy of what life should be like always.

Amazing

Tom’s story is a unique twist on a classic, and his rendition is amazing. Could not recommend higher!

Unbelieving Jacob!

If you love A Christmas Carol, you will thoroughly enjoy this book! I enjoyed every moment of it! While it was somewhat different from what I expected, that is part of its charm. I liked that it wasn't just like what I expected. Time well spent listening! I'll be doing this every Christmas season in the future!

Wonderful Christmas Story!

This wonderful Christmas story is by far the best of several sequels and variants of Charles Dickens classic tale of Ebenezer Scrooge's redemption. The story is great and the performance is excellent as well!

Love this point of view

I first heard the story on the radio program during the Christmas season about 20 years ago. I looked it up then and found an audio cassette version of it. I listen to that at least once each year (even digitized it so that I could listen to it on my electronic devices).
I was so delighted to find the Audible audiobook version of this. I love the way Tom Mula does the characters and the story is a very wonderful one for this time of year.
I highly recommend this book!

Very very clever!

It went in many different directions than I ever expected. I was often surprised and laughed out loud several times. Really fun! Give it a try.

A delightful take on a timeless story

This charming, slightly cheeky retelling of A Christmas Carol was a real treat. The characters are fun and relatable, even as the message is delightful and even brought me to a tear or two. The narrator also seemed to be having fun with it! I am relatively new to audiobooks and I loved this one immensely.
