Charles John Huffam Dickens was an English writer and social critic. He is regarded by many as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. His works enjoyed unprecedented popularity during his lifetime and, by the 20th century, critics and scholars had recognized him as a literary genius. His novels and short stories are widely read, performed, and adapted today.

A Christmas bonus with three outstanding narrators: Jason Isaacs, David Rintoul, and Jonathan Keeble. If you want the full Dickens Christmas experience, start around December 19th or 20th and listen to one track a day. This will take you up to around January 6th or 7th. (One of the chapters of the original text has been split between two tracks, so there are actually 19 “chapters” in the audio.) Jason Isaacs gives a somewhat angrier performance as Early Scrooge than others I’ve listened to, but I liked it a lot. (Compare his repeated exclamations of “Good afternoon!” with the way other narrators — Hugh Grant, for example — have done it. I’m not saying one is better than the other, only that I personally responded more deeply to Isaacs’ reading.) This is an all-around treat.

I really enjoyed this collection of all five of Charles Dickens' Christmas stories.
In my humble opinion, The Chimes and The Haunted Man And The Ghost's Bargain are far superior and far more powerful stories than A Christmas Carol and are the ones that should be repeated every year.
Overall, well worth the price and the listen.
