    "Jim Dale is a great narrator"

    Jim Dale (voice of the Harry Potter books) does a fantastic job with this Holiday classic. His voices for the various characters make this very entertaining to listen to.

    Now,if we could only get Harry Potter books on Audible....

    "Best Reding"

    I am a big fan of this story. I have a collection of different versions of A Christmas Carol. This is easily the best read version I have come across. Jim Dale is superb.

    "Love Jim Dale"

    I know the truly talented voice skills of Jim Dale from the Harry Potter series and to have him put his amazing ability to add unique character voices to the Timeless Family Classic A Christmas Carol made the story worth listening just that much more fun... again and again... a winter classic.

    "Outstanding narration of timeless tale."

    I can envision no better narration of this classic tale. I literally could not stop listening to this outstanding audiobook. I ended up listening to the entire book twice within two weeks of having purchased it.

    "Harry Potter meets Mr. Scrooge"

    There are many versions, both audio and video, of Dickens' classic story of redemption. This one is my favorite. Jim Dale brings his extraordinary talents to this timeless story. Check this out and his work on the Harry Potter series as well.

    "The amazing Jim Dale brings Dickens to life!"

    I was looking for an unabridged audio version of "A Christmas Carol", and of the many offered on Audible, I naturally noticed this one because it was read by Jim Dale, who does such a splendid job reading the American audiobooks of the Harry Potter series. I was delighted to discover that it was even better than I had anticipated. Mr. Dale is a marvelous actor and storyteller, and brings this classic to sparkling life with his characterizations and inflections. His reading make poetry of the prose. I cannot imagine anyone topping this particular performance. Another triumph for Jim Dale, one which would make Dickens proud, and a delightful treat for all of us. Thank you Mr. Dale, Listening Library, and Audible!

    "Fantastic"

    Best book in the English language. Quite possibly the best narrator, too. If you want or need to examine your soul, and chuckle while doing so, read this one again . . . and again. Skip the film versions.

    "Better than any movie version..."

    As expected Jim Dale was excellent and brings this classic stroy to life in the same way he has done in his other reads. If you have only ever seen the movie version of this tale you are missing out.
