Outstanding narrators

A Christmas bonus with three outstanding narrators: Jason Isaacs, David Rintoul, and Jonathan Keeble. If you want the full Dickens Christmas experience, start around December 19th or 20th and listen to one track a day. This will take you up to around January 6th or 7th. (One of the chapters of the original text has been split between two tracks, so there are actually 19 “chapters” in the audio.) Jason Isaacs gives a somewhat angrier performance as Early Scrooge than others I’ve listened to, but I liked it a lot. (Compare his repeated exclamations of “Good afternoon!” with the way other narrators — Hugh Grant, for example — have done it. I’m not saying one is better than the other, only that I personally responded more deeply to Isaacs’ reading.) This is an all-around treat.
