Fabulous from beginning to end. Jim Dale's performance makes the characters in the book come to life. I highly recommend it.
A Christmas Carol read by Jim Dale 
2008-01-03
Wonderful! In this busy time of year it's hard to find time to sit down long enough to read through the printed Dickens. Having an unabridged copy of A Christmas Carol in an audio format is a great treat. I managed to listen to it twice, once on my own while wrapping gifts and baking, and once with my kids.
Jim Dale, as usual reads it beautifully, embuing each character with it's own personality.
Just love Jim Dale and his reading! 2007-12-23
This is a fabulous, UNabridged version of A Christmas Carol. Jim Dale does fabulous voice characterizations, and really captures the mood of each scene. Just love it.

This was a great way to share the beauty of Dickens with students that are not quite ready to read it on their own.
Jim Dale Reads Again 2007-12-13
The quintessential Christmas story read by Jim Dale with all the skill (and voices) with which he read the Harry Potter novels. Wonderful to listen to as you do your Christmas decorating or baking. I bought copies to give as gifts for several people this year.
Great Reader of a Wonderful story! 2007-10-03
"Bah Humbug!" That's how Ebeneezer Scrooge feels about Christmas--until the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future decide to show the crotchety old miser the error of his ways. Together they travel through time, revisiting all the people who have played an important role in Scrooge's life. And as their journey concludes, Scrooge is reminded of what it means to have love in his heart, and what the true spirit of Christmas is all about. A timeless story the whole family will enjoy!
From the Trade Paperback edition.
A must for Christmas 2007-05-14
Jim Dale is truly amazing. You would not believe that there is only one person reading the story. He really brings Dickens alive. I cried at the end.
A Christmas Carol read by Jim Dale 2007-01-19
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens has always been a holiday tradition in my home and now joined with the versatile voice talents of Jim Dale, the story takes on a new life and vibrancy. This reading by Mr. Dale will now be a holiday tradition in my home.
Jim Dale is Great 2007-01-10
I have loved listening to his voice ever since hearing the Harry Potter books on CD (which are awesome as well). He really captures the feel of this book and does a great job as always.
A wonderful tale narrated by the best voice actor in the business 2006-04-19
First, the tale: Dickens' story hasn't aged at all. On the first page, there's this wry joke about how Marley was "dead as a door-nail," then goes on to speculate about why door-nails are more dead than, say, coffin-nails. This sets the tone for a powerful tale of redemption and change laced with both humor and a bit of fear (all these ghosts!). At the end of it all, Dickens inspires us to be better with this old story; he really captures a "spirit of Christmas" (and I listened to the story in March).
Second, the reader: Jim Dale is simply one of the best in the business. He lends similar creative, dramatic interpretation to his characters here as in his masterful readings of the Harry Potter books. We plan to initiate a family Christmas tradition of listening to this audiobook every December, letting it both entertain and inspire us.
