Publisher's Summary
What the critics say
"Reciting the litany of Scrooge's scrooginess, Stewart relishes the emotional gamut of meanness....Humbug seldom sounds so good." (Newsweek)
"Not only is Patrick Stewart wonderful, but this is surely one of the best performances of A Christmas Carol ever recorded....By sheer energy and dramatic skill, Stewart invests this story with not merely life, but freshness, excitement, and wonder." (The Washington Post)
"A low tech audio Christmas card: no sound effects, no gimmicks, just one of the the great voices of the contemporary classical stage creating as vivid a cast of characters as Dickens imagines. The Royal Shakespeare Company veteran...doesn't so much read the story as inhabit it with infectious delight." (Entertainment Weekly)

A superb combination.
Between Charles Dickens' amazing writing and Patrick Stewarts wonderful reading, this recording is a true treasure.

Does not follow the book very well
I LOVE Patrick Stewert's rendition of Scrooge. His voice is so good for this novel. I purchased this to allow my child follow the audio with the book but it jumps around and skips a lot.

A classic comes to life.
Patrick Stewart’s telling of this classic story is well done. His voice, including voices for different characters, is well done and believable. Listening to it is becoming a Christmas tradition.

INCREDIBLE!!!
I have read this book many times before and I liked it. Hearing it performed by Patrick Stewart was an entirely different experience. he adds so much character to the story. He does all the different voices and takes this beautiful book to a whole new level. If you are considering buying this version, do not hesitate. You will not be disappointed at all!

Christmas Classic by One of the Best
Short and sweet! Patrick Stewart gets right into the story, doing all the voices and accents. It is clear he is a fan and puts all his love for Dickens into this performance.
If you are a Scrooge and don’t like this fun, not-just-for-Christmas audiobook, all I can say to you is “Good Afternoon!”
