Publisher's Summary

Ever since the first publication of A Christmas Carol in 1843, the tale of stingy Ebenezer Scrooge, humble Bob Cratchit, and beloved Tiny Tim has had a special place in the Christmas tradition. Now, Sir John Gielgud's dramatic reading of an abridgment of this holiday classic brings Dickens' memorable characters to life. His portrayal of Scrooge's transformation shows us the nature of true charity, the power of tenderness, and the wisdom of innocence. This recording of A Christmas Carol is sure to become part of your own holiday traditions.

Critic Reviews

“For lit nerds and loved ones who are notoriously hard to shop for, you can’t go wrong with these festively bound classics.... Their size makes them perfectly stocking-stuffable.” (Entertainment Weekly)

“Remember how Christmas was celebrated before Black Friday with these 19th-century authors, in small uniform volumes wrapped in pretty jackets.” (USA Today)
