About this listen
A classic Christmas tale, lovingly recreated in this beautiful audio book.
The reviled Scrooge is visited by three spirits who teach him the real meaning of life.
The tale has been turned into rhyme, making this a delightful new twist to the story you know so well. Could it be a new addition to your Christmas traditions?

I highly recommend this version of A Christmas Carol.
I first read A Christmas Carol while still at school a long time ago and I have seen numerous films of it, yet I still enjoyed hearing it yet again. The message in the story is an excellent one and it does no harm to be reminded of it once more! This version though was even more enjoyable, what with all the sound effects and the rhyme in it is superb -it is so witty and enjoyable.

Your winter favourite in rhyme
So this is my go to audio every Christmas as I just love this story and I always feel Christmas has begun once we start listening to this. This new take on the story read in prose was really enjoyable and I was not disappointed. It still has the heart of the story but is told in rhyme in a really lovely way. Does not disappoint.

Well produced original take on a classic tale
This is good fun, Very well performed by Liam Scott and with clever rhyming by Dave McCluskey throughout. This production is well produced with music and good quality effects of heavy clock chimes and thunder etc and wide variety of convincing characters. Recommended. I was gifted this in return for a review.

A lovely new tradition, perfect for Christmas eve
A lovely short listen, perfect for sitting in front of the fire with a mince pie and a baileys, or when wrapping presents. It's a bit Dr Seuss meets Charles Dickens. The performance is lovely, with background effects that make it really atmospheric.

A truly atmospheric audiobook
This audio book is truly magical, with Liam Scott bringing this unique rhythmical graphic tale to life. The additional piano by Clare is a wonderful touch. You really cannot help but be drawn in.
“The office retained its quiet norm
as Cratchit watched the clock.
The day it crawled at a sluggish pace,
set to a slow tick tock”
You can also hear the very slow ticking in the background. Truly magical.
I have a signed copy of the book, and the illustrations by Joe Matthews are bright and colourful. Now this extra audio addition makes this wonderful collection complete. I love how the author has made some subtle changes from the book and it really helps the story to flow.
The narrator’s characters are oldy worldy, with their cockney accents and you can picture them in your head quite easily without actually having seen the illustrations in the book. (Though if you have not seen the illustrations you are missing out.)
This is a magical, seasonal treat to share with the whole family. Just gather them together around the Christmas tree with all your favourite treats and enjoy. I can guarantee you will not be disappointed.
I have to thank Dave for gifting a copy of this book to me for an honest review.

Super Christmas listen
I absolutely loved the audio version of this book! It is an original take on the Christmas carol story, as it is written in rhyme! I was unsure whether this would be my cup of tea but it certainly was! It was so well written and the narrator was brilliant, using different accents and portraying the various characters so well. The added piano playing and sound effects really added to the atmosphere of the story. This is an audio book that I will listen to every year. My nine year old daughter thoroughly enjoyed listening to it too. I would highly recommend this book 🎄😊

Review
Review:
A Christmas Carol is a well known story and it has been retold many times. I found this version to be particularly innovative. It's cleverly written and although it's relatively short at just over an hour long, it captures the atmosphere and spirit of the original version. The rhymes are not always what I expected. There is some dark humour running through it and this version makes the original story accessible to every reader.
The narration demonstrates brilliant characterisation, which means the recording is engaging from beginning to end. I also enjoyed the music and sound effects which enhance the atmosphere of the story.
This is definitely a recording which I could listen to year after year, and take different messages from it each time.
