Publisher's Summary
Audible Studios presents a brand new recording of Charles Dickens' timeless seasonal story A Christmas Carol, performed by Hugh Grant.
First published in 1843, it tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, a mean and unpleasant man who dislikes people generally and Christmas especially.
One Christmas Eve he is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come and given a glimpse of the many homes and lives which Scrooge has touched in his wretched life to date. After their visits, Scrooge is transformed into a kinder, gentler man.

The Eternal Christmas Story
I love this story! The narrator did an awesome job!
I'm glad I listened to the eternal Christmas story that reminds us what the Spirit of the season is all about and the reason that Jesus was born - to save us from ourselves and our attitudes.

Christmas Classic Given New Life
I absolutely love the life that Hugh Grant breathes into this story. Read this in one sitting Christmas Day while working on things around the house. This is a reading of the story I can see myself returning to every year.

HUGH GRANT MADE THIS FANTASTIC!
I have read or heard the Christmas carol so many times I don't believe I could count them. Patrick Stewart did a stellar job, and so have many other really talented narrator's but I have to say, Hugh Grant made this story human and touchable and so uplifting and so much fun to listen to that from now on, he is my favorite bringer of Dickens at Christmas!

Exceptional Performance
Hugh Grant provides a masterful performance of this Christmas classic. No matter how many times and how many film/TV versions you have seen, there are humorous and moving nuances to the written text that do not come through in even the finest productions. I recommend this Audible production of the Dickens’ novel unreservedly.

i think I have all of the "Christmas Carol"s from Audible, and enjoy them immensely. This, however, is the best. It is perfect. It's Charles Dickens as Charles Dickens would have read it, I'm sure.
I would now like Audible to engage Hugh Grant to read the rest of the Dickens canon. Seriously.

An excellent tail let down by a Poor narration
I came across this free gift whilst browsing the audible bestseller lists. I love a Christmas Carol, it’s sheer magnificence, power and emotive force keeps me coming back to read every year so when I came across yet another recording, I was excited as I own several. First, the recording appears to be very short and I know why, Hugh Grant reads the book as if he needs to get as much said in the shortest possible time. This does not leave any scope for him to use his undeniable voice acting talent to give the book the emotive force and the characters their individual voices. It feels to me as if he is just reading the book and rushing through the story, paying little attention to the undeniable Roth of Jacob Marley, the tenderness of Christmas past, the merriness of Christmas present and the bleakness of Christmas yet to come. I was fortunate enough to download the Tim Curry presentation audible released in 2009 and this version falls a long way short of that standard. By all means collect this as a freebie however there are better performances out there for discerning listeners of this undeniable classic.

The ultimate Christmas listen - beautiful and uplifting. Regardless of how many times I've read/listened to this masterpiece, it never gets old. Every year I enjoy the anticipation of Christmas even more thanks to this beautiful story by Mr Dickens.
Hugh Grant's narration is superb. This was my first audiobook narrated by Mr Grant and I absolutely adored his performance - can't wait to listen to more of his narration.
Thank you, Audible, for such a generous and wonderful present!

I have listened to this book over and over now. What a chestnut it is! Hugh Grant is a reasonable actor but his skill as a reader is much greater. He is able to bring all the characters to life. He makes this about the book not about himself. I just love it and I thank Hugh Grant and Audible for giving it to the world as it was meant to be. Charles Dickens would be proud of them!
