About this listen

Audible Studios presents a brand new recording of Charles Dickens' timeless seasonal story A Christmas Carol, performed by Hugh Grant.

First published in 1843, it tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, a mean and unpleasant man who dislikes people generally and Christmas especially.

One Christmas Eve he is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come and given a glimpse of the many homes and lives which Scrooge has touched in his wretched life to date. After their visits, Scrooge is transformed into a kinder, gentler man.

Excellent performance by Hugh Grant. His reading brought the story alive and could not have been more suited.

Hugh Grant's excellent narration re-ignited my wonder of Dickens' brilliant writing. What a Christmas gift, thanks Hugh!

I have seen may versions of Christmas Carol. From Mr Magoo to Blackadder. But I have never read the original. Shame on me this is a tour deforce of the English Language and I enjoyed it very much. Recommended to All.

Terrific fun to listen to. Hugh Grant is a wonderful narrator, just the right amount of character & caricature.
