What to expect

“Every idiot who goes about with ‘Merry Christmas’ on his lips should be boiled with his own pudding,” says Scrooge. Mean old Scrooge despises Christmas, until Christmas Eve, when a haunted voice from the past changes his life––overnight!

Many know the story, but few have experienced the marvel of the book. If you are one who has never read this family classic, this is the time to do so. Listen to our unabridged recording and make this a truly Charles Dickens Christmas. And, “God bless us, everyone!”

Critics Review

  • “It is the detail and the vigor of Charles Dickens’s writing that brings Scrooge to life…one of the most miraculous of all Dickens’s creations—a character one never tires of who, in this short but potent story, never outstays his welcome.”

    The Telegraph (London)

  • “A tale to make the reader laugh and cry—to open his hands, and open his heart to charity even toward the uncharitable.”

    The Athenaeum

  • “The quintessential Christmas story…Beautiful, nostalgic, and evocative of the spirit of Christmas.”

    Amazon.com

  • “Perhaps the outstanding Christmas myth of modern literature.”

    Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature

  • “This audiobook distinguishes itself by offering the unabridged novel rather than a dramatic made-for-radio adaptation or a selection of excerpts. Still short and sweet, with a great deal more Dickensian tongue-in-cheek humor than comes across in movie versions, this audiobook is a treat.”

    Kliatt

  • “If Christmas, with its ancient and hospitable customs, its social and charitable observances, were ever in danger of decay, this is the book that would give them a new lease. The very name of the author predisposes one to the kindlier feelings.”

    Thomas Hood, poet
