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. It is perfectly festive and is also appropriately didactic. It is an allegory for what happens to those that are......more

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.

Quotes

"A Christmas Carol has been adopted into radio drama by many people over the years, but few better than Voices In The Wind Audio Theatre from Canada.”

Fred Greenhalgh, host of the Radio Drama Revival podcast

“Zarr and Dupuis’ production for the Canada-based Voices in the Wind Audio Theatre was notable for its lack of sentimentality: despite the happy ending, they emphasized the significance of Christmas as the time of year when individuals should take a long hard look at themselves and consider whether they need to reform. Would that everyone could follow Scrooge’s example.”
