I think this is one of the best stories ever written

Classic, Back in the 70's in December teacher would light candle turn off lights and read this to us in class. Always looked forward to it.

Christmas Eve in the uk tucked up in bed with my dog, listening to one of my favourite stories on the best night of the year to listen to it. Thank you x

Beautifully done! What a pleasure to hear the entire unabridged version of this classic tale.

I think I've seen all versions of A Christmas Carol, and heard many audio versions. Although I do have my favourites I'm really happy to find a new one to listen to!

Elliot Fitzpatrick's narration of 'A Christmas Carol' is masterful. He brings Dickens' classic tale to life with such warmth and character. It's like hearing this beloved story for the first time again. Thank you

One of the great treasures of the English language. No matter how many times I read it or hear it, it "works" every single time.

Flawlessly read! You really captured the ‘spirit’ of the story.

My favorite Christmas story of all. Thank you for reading it, I haven’t the time to read but plenty of time to listen. I’m a cross country trucker

Just wanted to join in and say thank you for this... insomnia here so this is now my new go to "Sleep story".. bless you 🙏 🙌

Getting ready for Christmas and reading this masterpiece 🎄🎄

Every December I either reread A Christmas Carol or listen to an audio version. This enchanting reading is a new blessing. What a holiday treat! I hope you record something for Burns Night.

Brought me to tears 🥹 the perfect accompaniment to my quiet Christmas Eve. Thank you for this enchanting reading of my favourite Christmas story. Merry Christmas, amd God Bless us, every one!

My favorite video version of this is the George C. Scott version. I watch every year. This audio version is excellent!!

The Scrooge voice is great!

Such a timeless story this is. And im happy to have scrolled upon it, not looking for it or anything else that has to do with the Holiday. But doing so was serendipitous, since my mind and soul are both worn down and worse for wear, and i needed to hear this wonderful story. Thanks for posting. 😁 🎄 👍

I, too, read this book just before Christmas each year - it is the start of Christmas for me ! Today , 6th of December and I have just listened to this audio book - an excellent version which I enjoyed very much. Christmas has begun ! Merry Christmas everyone may you have a healthy and peaceful time. ❤

🎄🙏😇 GREAT PRESENTATION...THANKS !...MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL&GOD BLESS EVERYONE 😇 🙏 ⭐ ⭐ ✨ ⭐ ✨ ⭐ ✨ ⭐ ☃️

Such a joy to listen to a classic book, especially one that illustrates the pure, God given love of the human spirit. We need many more stories like this❤️🙏🙏❤️

Excellent reading of the classic tale!

Just so grateful that stuff like this is public domain and that we can listen in full without a constant barrage of ads. Merry Christmas, even to the Scrooges at KZfaq!

I read it at school many years ago and now Its my second time listening to the story and it's my favourite book. 😅 I will listen to it every December ❤ thank you

Great rendition and narration Thank you very much for an early Christmas present. Merry Christmas to you and your family and all the listeners

Love this! Nice reading.

Living very close to his old house, and locl, i can understand his fantastic imagination and literature!

Im sat here listening to this whilst recovery from eye surgery,listening to the excellent narration brings back memories of the brilliant Alistair Sims and his portrayal of Scrooge. It cant be easy reading something effortlessly that has been written in an olde English style? Brilliantly done.

"Laocoön". Living, learning😂. This is why I love classics from this era...I always learn a few new words. I am thoroughly enjoying the readers narration too. Thank you.

Every year I listen to this story and watch various versions, and every year I think of something new. This year, listening to the Fred and Scrooge argument in the beginning, it comes to me that why Scrooge is so dismissive of Fred, is because Fred reminds him of who he could have been if he made different choices. He’s not scoffing when Fred says “I fell in love”, he’s remembering Belle and how he made the choice of money over love, and where it’s led him. Fred made the choice he couldn’t, and despite being “poor” (or at least high middle class), he’s HAPPY.

Beautiful Story and Awesome narration ❤

Thank you, very much enjoyed this while I stitched.

I am enjoying this version. Even though I am from the US, I don't care for this story unless the narrator has an English accent. This speaker is very good. 🕯️

What a wonderful narration. My favourite Christmas film is Muppets Christmas Carol but I’ve never actually listened to/read the story. Thank you so much for changing that for me!

It just took him 6 weeks to write it. Merry Christmas ..

Lovely version now a yearly tradition 🩷

My absolute favorite story of all time. Sad however that the name "Scrooge" is associated with the miserly man as opposed to the redeemed man.

Thank you so much for this fantastic narration of one of my favorite books. I have seen every version of the film available but this audio rendition was so in keeping with the original I thoroughly enjoyed it. Well done.

What a marvelous narration of the story. It made me laugh, cry, and afforded me a new hope. Thank you!

I don’t know who it was that narrated this but it was probably one of the best renditions of a Christmas Carol via audiobook I’ve ever heard next to Orson Welles and that’s saying something! Great job!👍🏼🎄

Thank you very very much! Beautiful story and reading😊

I love this audiobook!!

Thank you so much for posting this video! It really helped me read A Christmas Carol for my literature class.

It is said that when a young girl heard about the death of Charles Dickens, she asked heartbroken "Does that mean that Christmas is canceled as well?"

This sounds like a great recording. I’m already lining it up for approach to Christmas, when I always revisit this wonderful story.

17:56 quote to compare to “man-kind was my business” or Scrooge at the end 20:17 ghosts really near, list 26:27 foreshadowing Marley’s chains “screws and nuts” metal strong unbreakable and restricting, just like the chains later 35:44 alliteration, humour from Scrooge, he is scared so is being less serious and uptight as. he doesn’t know how to react, double interpretation, he doesn’t want to believe in Market as he can already see the afterlife he’s living and doesn’t want to end up the same, goes against his beliefs and morals 37:17 INCREDIBLE foreshadowing of Innocence and Want, literally Goblins created by him and he’ll remember them for the rest of his life as a reminder to keep his morals in check and be kind 50:28 why is Scrooge compared to a ferret? Viscous, harsh, but small? How much does Scrooge matter how much damage can Scrooge do? Why does he want to piece the darkness: he likes it… he is scared and shocked and feels nervous where he’s normally comfortable 51:57 light referes to hope is about to take over Scrooges world 58:00 doesn’t want hope and to try and correct himself because it’s easy to be selfish 58:10 Scrooge has ignored his past and how it has made him the person he is today and how it can change him 59:04 it’s time to change, take not 2:37:04 describes the spirit 2:37:34 compare to how he didn’t want past to help wanted the cap on his light (hope)

Giant mug of tea and Frito corn chips they're ready!

bah humbug this is very good :)

Thanks. Had to turn it up to speed 2. But thanks.

I miss being able to read this story...

The greatest story ever told. I have a beautifully illustrated edition which I read every year, and this year I followed along listening to your delightful narration. Thank you. (If I may ask thought, to what does this, “complete with sounds and visuals”, refer?)

Dickens was a fantastic writer

I look forward to new stories in the future.

This narrator is exceptionally good but it doesn’t mention who he is? It sounds a lot like David Clarke , same beautiful voice, cadence & delivery . Anybody know?

Excellent 😃👍❤️💯%🇦🇺

"Wow, I love Christmas Carol!" English literature GCSE: No you don't 💀

SCE - Christmas Carol, Door- to Door inspired

It’s not even Christmas it’s late June but since it was recommended by YT it must mean something

The door of Scrooge's counting-house was open that he might keep his eye upon his clerk, who in a dismal little cell beyond, a sort of tank, was copying letters. Scrooge had a very small fire, but the clerk's fire was so very much smaller that it looked like one coal. But he couldn't replenish it, for Scrooge kept the coal-box in his own room; and so surely as the clerk came in with the shovel, the master predicted that it would be necessary for them to part. Wherefore the clerk put on his white comforter, and tried to warm himself at the candle; in which effort, not being a man of a strong imagination, he failed. "A merry Christmas, uncle! God save you!" cried a cheerful voice. It was the voice of Scrooge's nephew, who came upon him so quickly that this was the first intimation he had of his approach. "Bah!" said Scrooge, "Humbug!" He had so heated himself with rapid walking in the fog and frost, this nephew of Scrooge's, that he was all in a glow; his face was ruddy and handsome; his eyes sparkled, and his breath smoked again.

Even now in 2023 believing in the redemption of a human reprobate affirms our faith in an awesome God. If he can create our universe he can unshackle a human soul. I for one do believe. It is not for us by much speaking or the power of persuasion to bring this about. Don’t put that burden upon yourself. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit will work together to effect the miracle. Pray for those who God brings to your attention. Do not despair for the battle may be fierce. Just keep praying as the Holy Spirit leads.

god bless us everyone

Thank you for reading to me 🥹 I truly enjoy it ! 😊

❤
