Synopsis

Grammy Award Nominee for Best Spoken Word Album!

Tiny Tim, Bob Cratchit, and Ebenezer Scrooge come to marvelous life in Patrick Stewart's critically acclaimed solo interpretation of A Christmas Carol.

A member of The Royal Shakespeare Company long before Star Trek and X-Men made him a household name, Patrick Stewart has performed his one-man stage production of A Christmas Carol to worldwide acclaim, winning a New York Drama Desk Award on Broadway and an Olivier Award in London. Now, in this Grammy-nominated studio recording of the legendary theatrical achievement that has thrilled audiences for decades, Stewart invites listeners to rediscover the timeless story at its source: Dickens' own, classic words, presented in a soaring, virtuoso solo performance in which Stewart plays all parts.

About Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens was born in 1812 near Portsmouth where his father was a clerk in the navy pay office. The family moved to London in 1823, but their fortunes were severely impaired. Dickens was sent to work in a blacking-warehouse when his father was imprisoned for debt. Both experiences deeply affected the future novelist. In 1833, he began contributing stories to newspapers and magazines, and in 1836 started the serial publication of The Pickwick Papers. Thereafter, Dickens published his major novels over the course of the next twenty years, from Nicholas Nickleby to Little Dorrit. He also edited the journals Household Words and All the Year Round. Dickens died in June 1870.

Goodreads review by Sean Barrs on December 25, 2023

I read this every year at Christmas, and I always will do. Simply because of the atmosphere it evokes. This story is Christmas as far as I’m concerned. It wouldn’t be the same without it.

Goodreads review by Bill on December 23, 2023

It has been a decade since I last read this classic, so I decided to look at it again, taking note of what I have forgotten or imperfectly remembered and also garnering any new insights my older (and I hope wiser) self could now find within it. But first, I decided to do a little research, and discov......more

Goodreads review by Federico on February 09, 2023

Bah! Humbug! Ebenezer Scrooge is a bitter old man, working day after day in his office, mistreating everyone around him, caring only about making riches and little else. Christmas Eve is no exception, as he dismisses it as utter humbug. But that might change when a fatidic night, he is visited by......more

Goodreads review by Lisa of Troy on August 17, 2024

How many of you know an Ebenezer Scrooge? How many of you are Ebenezer Scrooge? Written in 1843, A Christmas Carol is a novella that has stood the test of time. This year, we didn’t put up a Christmas tree, and I haven’t been feeling the “Christmas spirit.” But this book squarely right sided the situa......more
