Charles Dickens
The magnificent Richard Armitage (Hamlet: King of Denmark: A Novel) performs The Chimes by Charles Dickens.
This classic story is the second in a series of five Christmas books Dickens was commissioned to write - beginning with A Christmas Carol. A haunting tale set on New Year's Eve, The Chimes tells the story of a poor porter named Trotty Veck who has become disheartened by the state of the world - until he is shown a series of fantastical visions that convince him of the good of humanity. Though much different from and certainly a bit darker than A Christmas Carol, the moral message of The Chimes is equally poignant - touting the importance of compassion, goodwill, and the love of friends and family.
The Chimes was followed by The Cricket on the Hearth, The Battle of Life, and finally The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain.

Like most Americans, while I was familiar with A Christmas Carol, I was not familiar with The Chimes until now.
The main character, "Trotty" Veck, is a poor, elderly porter (message runner). The chief joy of his life is his beautiful daughter, Meg. The Chimes are the bells of the church that stands at Trotty's usual post. Their sound helps to cheer and strengthen him during the cold days of winter. On New Year's Eve, several encounters cause Trotty to lose all hope in the future. The Chimes call him to the church tower and show him what will happen to those he loves if they also lose hope. As another reviewer stated, it is a combination of A Christmas Carol and It's a Wonderful Life.
Richard Armitage's voice is beautiful and rich, and he tells the story beautifully.
