Publisher's Summary
This version of Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol, masterfully narrated by Tim Curry, was available for a limited time last year, and now it's back. This one-of-a-kind performance puts a unique spin on a treasured classic, and served as the inspiration for the exciting new line of Audible Signature Classics, including Adventures of Huckleberry Finn with Elijah Wood, and Heart of Darkness with Kenneth Branagh. Tim Curry performs this timeless holiday story in a deliciously dark tone, returning it to its Dickensian roots with a vivid imagining of Victorian London and just the right touch of outrageous fun.
A Christmas Carol has constantly been in print since its original publication in 1849, and has been adapted for stage, television, film, and opera. It has often been credited with returning the jovial and festive atmosphere to the holiday season in Britain and North America, following the somber period that emerged during the Industrial Revolution.
The story opens on a bleak and cold Christmas Eve as Ebenezer Scrooge is closing up his office for the day. As the story progresses and Christmas morning approaches, Scrooge encounters the unforgettable characters that make this story a classic: Bob Cratchit, Tiny Tim, and, of course, the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come.

classic story... but never boring!
the performance in the story is immersive and captivating. Tim Curry does this classic novella great justice. The book itself is both funnier and scarier than you expect it to be. fun and entertaining listen.

God Bless us Everyone!
I've heard this story multiple times. Tim Curry captures and portrays exactly what I'm certain Charles Dickens imagined. His portrayal of this classic book is the standard against which all "A Christmas Carol" audiobook versions should be measured.

Wonderful Rendition of Story
Tim Curry does a beautiful job dramatizing this story. His narration and characterizations are very enjoyable.
Listening to the story during the holiday season is the best time to enjoy it. It has truly put me in the Holiday Spirit.
