Wonderful adaptation
This multicast adaptation of Dickens' classic is worthy of annual listens. The sound effects included, enhanced and added the right spirit (no pun intended) of this wonderful story. Excellently done!

Fantastic performance
A wonderful classic presented in a fabulously engaging way. The narrator is absolutely amazing, he brings the story to life. The dramatization is perfect. From more than 25 audiobooks I have listened to, this is the number one best performance. Highly recommended.

Superb - what a Christmas Gift!
I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of this production. Performances were top notch and it was equal to the Alistair Sims 1951 classic film. To be listened to annually in the future.

What a delightful listen!
I love this novella and have read it annually for years now. This drama stayed close to the book (it's about the same listening time as an unabridged read). I thought each of the characters were well performed and memorable. To me, the only con was Cranham as Scrooge. Imo, his performance was under played. It was quite good, but not brilliant. But he had big shoes to fill with Alastair Sim in the 1951 movie. Regardless, I wholly recommend this drama and definitely will listen to this next Christmas and the year after (along with Hugh Grant's narration of the story). It was a really delightful way to spend a few hours!

Beautifully Performed Adaptation of Dicken's Tale
This is one of the best adaptations of A Christmas Carol I have ever listened to or watched. No scenes have been cut for time (as often happens with film adaptations) so you get the full emotional experience that Dicken's created with his story.
Sir Derek Jacobi's narration is pitch-perfect. It is always in perfect sync with the tone of each scene so it never undercuts the emotional impact of the events.
All of the performers are perfectly cast. Usually, with audio plays, I have favorite performances as well as performances that I think could have been done better. But each of these performances are so well done that I don't have a favourite performance nor one that I consider a "weak link".
If you only buy one audiobook of Dicken's Christmas classic, make it this one.

Beautifully done!
I loved everything about this production from the narrator, voice actors, sound effects, to the story itself. All of it drew me in and kept me there. I enjoyed it so much I had to listen again when it ended. For me this was a great introduction to audible. Beautifully done. 5 stars!

An All-Star Cast you can't go wrong with!
From the first word to the last, I sat enthralled. I've ever adored Dicken's A Christmas Carol in all of it's tellings! First reading the book in childhood, it's an annual tradition to read it, watch it and now listen to it for myself and my family. I have never enjoyed an audio version of this story quite as much as this one! There are such memorable characters, cherished friends I carry from year to year and the cast made them all the more endearing to me. Kudos to Audible Studios on such a splendid vision of a timeless classic of love, life and redemption!
