About this listen

Tiny Tim, Bob Cratchit, and Ebenezer Scrooge come to marvelous life in Patrick Stewart's critically-acclaimed solo interpretation of A Christmas Carol. The star of X-Men and The Royal Shakespeare Company, Stewart has performed his one-man stage production of this holiday classic to sell-out audiences. Now, in this Grammy-nominated studio recording of the dazzling achievement that has thrilled audiences in New York and Los Angeles, Stewart invites listeners to rediscover the timeless story at its source: Dickens' own words, presented in a soaring, virtuoso solo performance in which Stewart plays all parts.Click here to see all the titles in our Charles Dickens collection.©1991 Camm Lane, Inc (P)2006 Simon and Schuster, Inc.

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)

A timeless classic

A Christmas Carol written by Charles Dickens is story that has spanned the ages and loved by millions across the world a story of hope and redemption which is as apt today as it was then. This adaptation is read by Sir Patrick Stewart and in my opinion the best of all versions, he puts his heart and soul into the reading and it shows. Absolutely brilliant and I would wholeheartedly recommend this to everyone who loves this timeless classic.

Brilliant, but abridged

Sir Patrick Stewart is flawless, but for some reason this book is abridged, which is disappointing. It’s not a long book to begin with. Maybe it’s from the days of books on tapes/physical media?
