The Novels of Charles Dickens: An Introduction by David Timson to A Christmas Carol

By: David Timson

Publisher's summary

David Timson talks about Charles Dickens, much loved for his great contribution to classic English Literature. Listen to A Christmas Carol narrated by Anton Lesser.

"A ghostly little book", said Charles Dickens of his famous Christmas novella, which first appeared in 1843. It has become the most famous classic Christmas story of all, with the miserly figure of Scrooge, the epitome of the callous employer; sadly crippled Tiny Tim; and the three spectres: the ghosts of Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and Christmas Future.

Listen to A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens.

Not worth the bandwidth for even a free download

The title says "The Novels of Charles Dickens: An Introduction by David Timson to A Christmas Carol", and the publisher's summary claims "David Timson talks about Charles Dickens...."

The audio has perfunctory content about Charles Dickens and A Christmas Carol, lasting maybe a minute. Scraps and pieces of an abridged though otherwise capable dramatic reading of A Christmas Carol comprise the rest.

IDK why anyone would produce this audio recording.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
