Summary

This quintessential Christmas tale shows Dickens at his dazzling and provocative best, leaving Scrooge no doubts about the true spirit of Christmas, nor about the perils of ignoring the insistent ghosts of Christmases Past, Present and Yet to Come.

Available on digital download for the first time.

This is an ideal Christmas gift, and is packed full of all of your favourite Christmas poems, carols and readings – both traditional and modern.

150 much-loved poems, carols and readings have been hand-picked, and arranged alphabetically so that they can be easily found. Each item is introduced with a brief history to the piece and its author, helpfully placing it in context.

The pieces are also accompanied by a complete set of indexes which detail first lines, themes, Bible references (where applicable) and authors so that the much-loved works are thoroughly cross referenced and can be found with ease.

The incomparable Paul Scofield

One of my favourite recordings of A Christmas Carol (and I've heard quite a few). The mellifluous voice of Paul Scofield is a treat to listen to. BUT this is an abridged version so we are deprived of the entirety of Dickens' words. Hence 4 stars for the story and overall. Oh! How I wish Scofield had recorded an unabridged version! Well worth buying though - if only to hear a master at work.
