About this listen

Tom Baker reads Charles Dickens' timeless seasonal story.

Charles Dickens' story of solitary miser Ebenezer Scrooge, who is taught the true meaning of Christmas by the three ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future, has become one of the timeless classics of English literature. First published in 1843, it introduces us not only to Scrooge himself but also to the memorable characters of underpaid desk clerk Bob Cratchit and his poor family, the poorest amongst whom is the ailing and crippled Tiny Tim.

In this new recording, Tom Baker delivers a tour-de-force performance as he narrates the story. The listener joins Scrooge on Christmas Eve, witnesses the visitation of Marley's ghost, and is given a glimpse of the many homes and lives which Scrooge has touched in his wretched life to date. This ultimately uplifting tale is a festive delight to be treasured and listened to again and again.

Best Christmas ever

Thanks to Tom Baker for the best Christmas Carol audiobook ever. I felt I was there with him inside the story. Cried my eyes out.
I will listen it to it again and again, every year before Christmas till my end come. Giulio

Dickens and Tom Baker, a perfect match.

An iconic Christmas book read by a wonderful narrator. Tom Baker's deep, rich voice makes listening to this book so enjoyable and certainly put me in the Christmas mood, The characters come alive and every word is a joy to be heard. How can you have Christmas without listening to this classic masterpiece.

Awesome book, wonderful narration.

Tom Baker bring Dicken's wonderful characters to life. His animated storytelling brings you into their presence, much like Scrooge himself, without actually being there.
