Though I've been familiar with the story for ages I'd never read the original until now.
The story is fantastic. It's engaging and an easy read despite a number of terms that I'm still unfamiliar with. It's justifiably a classic. I was unaware of just how faithfully the old Alistair Simm movie was to the original until now as well. It puts me in the mood to see it again.
Of all Dickens's stories this one seems the most accesible. Well worth the reading time. ...more

Excellent full cast version, with the amazing Derek Jacobi as the narrator. I always prefer complete versions, although this one seems to have added a little bit of dialog that isn't in the original, which is weird. My favorites are probably Jim Dale and Tim Curry, although Neil Gaiman and Patrick Stewart are amazing. Next year I'll try LaVar Burton maybe

We LOVE Jim Dale. We LOVE "A Christmas Carol." Put them together and you have pure delight the whole family can enjoy.
Merry Christmas! ...more

Loved the book. First time I actually read the book, of course I watched the movie so many times. I just enjoy this book so much and I am so glad I read the book. Definitely will be rereading it every Christmas.
A heart-warming story for all ages, with a great narrator!
