About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
Ebenezer Scrooge is a moneylender in the City of London who keeps Christmas the way he keeps everything else: at arm's length, and in the dark. He refuses his nephew's invitation to dinner, grudges his clerk Bob Cratchit a single lump of coal, and calls the season a humbug.
On Christmas Eve, seven years to the day after his partner Jacob Marley died, Scrooge is visited by Marley's ghost, dragging a chain of cash-boxes and ledgers forged in a lifetime of greed. Marley has come to warn him: three spirits will arrive, and if Scrooge does not change, his chain will be longer still.
What follows is a journey through Christmases past, present, and future — the schoolroom where a lonely boy was left behind, the counting-house where a young man lost the woman he loved, the Cratchit kitchen with its goose and its small lame boy, and finally a room where a dead man's belongings are being sold before the body is even cold.
Charles Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol in six weeks in 1843, and it changed how the English-speaking world keeps Christmas. This unabridged recording presents the complete text, read in five staves, narrated by Alex Mercer.
