Amazon.com Review Patrick Stewart's one-man production of Dickens's A Christmas Carol played to sold-out audiences in New York and Los Angeles. In this studio recording based on those performances, Stewart is in rare form, using his considerable range of voices to play all roles, from the Ghost of Christmas past to Tiny Tim. It must be said that Stewart clearly enjoys playing Scrooge best of all--but isn't the villain always the most compelling character? Even if you feel that "every idiot who goes about with 'Merry Christmas' on his lips should be boiled with his own pudding and buried with a stake of holly through his heart," this rendition of Dickens's classic will get you in a Yuletide mood. (Running time: 2 hours, 2 cassettes) --C.B. Delaney
Product Description One of the most beloved Christmas stories in English, this engrossing tale relates Ebenezer Scrooge’s ghostly journeys through Christmases past, present and future and his ultimate transformation from a harsh and grasping old miser to a charitable and compassionate human being. A perennial classic that has become as much a part of the holiday season as holly, mistletoe and evergreen wreaths.
Another great review!November 29, 2008 skyguy(Japan) This is one of the best performances of A Christmas Carol I've ever heard....highly recommended.

Nice StoryJune 18, 2008 Donna M. Curtis(Philadelphia, PA, USA) Cute book to add to my table of Christmas Stories. Will make a cute addition this Christmas.
I ordered 30 copies!January 28, 2008 J. Arena(Williamsburg, VA) I ordered 30 copies of this Dover Thrift Edition of A Christmas Carol and used them as stocking stuffers at work.
This is a great item for the price, lower than some greeting cards, and I suspect appreciated a tad more than the usual overflow of candy around at holiday time!
Without equalDecember 28, 2007 D. Anthony(Pennsylvania, USA) Everyone has their favorite version of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. Make this dramatic retelling yours. At about 2 hours, its perfect for listening in the car while running around during the holidays or on your MP3 player while putting up Christmas lights. I plan on listening to it every year from now on. Patrick Stewart gives voice to every character, including the narration, and gives the kind of performance which I have come to expect from an actor of his immense talents.
