A Christmas Carol: Dickens on Dickens

Narrated by: Gerald Dickens

Gerald Dickens, great, great grandson of Charles Dickens, reads this traditional Christmas tale, in which Ebenezer Scrooge is taught the true meaning of Christmas by a series of ghostly visitors.

Published in 1843, A Christmas Carol has become as much a part of Christmas as trees and stockings, plum pudding and mistletoe, enjoyed by children and adults alike.

This audiobook includes a special feature, as family member Gerald Dickens recounts his understanding of this classic story.

wonderfully read

A wonderful story so appropriate for Christmas performed by a master storyteller with warmth and compassion. Well worth the little time it takes to listen.

THIS ONE AUDIBLE TITLE IS CHRISTMAS TO ME1

After experiencing Gerald Dickens one man show of this title for 20 years, listening to the taped performance and now listening on Audible, every year, many times thereafter, I can truly say that this Audible performance IS Christmas for me. It is an amazing performance and such a GREAT addition to my holiday season. Thank you, Mr Dickens, Gerald Dickens, and Audible.

Best narrator anywhere!

Gerald Dickens is a great voice for his great grandad's books....he varies his speech to suit the characters, he enunciates properly, and he makes the stories live. I have bought all of his narrated books...I love them!

I listened to this one straight through while at the gym. I may listen to it again.

My highest recommendation.

The spirits of Christmas past, present and future for me!
We took turns reading this classic out loud growing up. To have it be narrated by his great, great grandson while I’m busy preparing for Christmas is a delightful gift I give to myself!
God bless us everyone!

one of the best versions of the best book

i loved this narration of a christmas carol. voices, timing, inflection all top notch. i do wish there was more family history and personal reflection by the narrator as that was a major reason i downloaded this title. while he does offer some intetesting information, i admit i wanted even more. even without the added bonus at the end this audiobook version is a superior one and i will deffinetly listen to it again

Wonderful version of the timeless classic

I'm sure the fact that this beloved story was read by a descendant of the great Charles Dickens added to the wonder of this recording. Gerald Dickens does a remarkable job narrating a story that needs no introduction. Of all the versions I have heard, and there are many, this ranks extremely high. One truly feels as though Charles Dickens himself is giving one of the many public readings of "A Christmas Carol," something he did often. I highly recommend this audio book.

I didn't care for the narrator

Certainly one of the best stories of all time. Narration, in this instance, is everything.
