About this listen
Critic Reviews
"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)

Wept As I Listened
Full disclosure - I adore Star Trek. But still, for any listener, this is such a beautiful performance. And Dickens. Like the Beatles. The real thing. A beautiful story to remind us of our social and moral obligations, at a time of year we often forget them in an orgy of spending and credit worry. Very prescient in a time of such economic inequality. Listen to it on Christmas Eve.

A Christmas Classic
Dicken's classic novel has been a favourite of mine since I first read it as a child. Wonderfully read by Patrick Steward who voices all the characters I could not wait until Christmas to listen to it.

Fabulous
I have seen a Christmas carol twice or maybe three times it’s been a long while. I must admit however, that listening to this tale was actually more enjoyable. Well done Sir Patrick, a fabulous performance!
