Publisher's summary

Scrooge! His name has become synonymous with being miserly and miserable, especially at Christmas! A Christmas Carol is the much-loved novella by Charles Dickens which tells Scrooge's story. This mean, misanthropic man is visited by the ghost of his former partner, Jacob Marley, and then three spirits: the ghosts of Christmas Past, of Christmas Present, and of Christmas Yet to Come. These spirits show him visions that illustrate how his selfish attitude and behavior affect the people in his circle of friends and family. Further, he's shown how and why his own life has been affected in the past.

In this version, the memorable characters of this timeless classic are skillfully brought to life and the unaffected, clear narrative delivers Charles Dickens' prose with an intimate performance of clarity and accessibility.

A Christmas Carol


A Christmas Carol
Author: Charles Dickens

A Christmas Carol is one of my favorite tales this time of year. A dear teacher friend always used this book about now, and hosted an English tea to conclude. She retired at the end of last school year. This also reminded me of another friend that introduced me to the story, who has passed. Thank You for memories!!!

The narration was well done. The characters were well portrayed. Chris MacDonnell brought this book to life.I will listen to this several more times this Christmas season and in the future.

Wonderfully Told

Narrator Chris MacDonnell performs this classic tale beautifully. Never going over the top, but holding the listener in his hands by his natural gift of storytelling. I am thankful for the opportunity to listen to this classic unabridged. Another story from the public domain professionally produced in conjunction with Spoken Realms. Bravo!

Performed with personality

If anyone else is like me and would struggle getting around to reading Dickens novels in print, I'd recommend this audiobook to you. Chris MacDonnell brings personality plus to the task of narration. His performance made it easier for me to listen to the book with my children. Kind thanks! This audiobook was provided this audiobook in exchange for an unbiased review.
