A Christmas Carol and The Night Before Christmas are as different as England and America themselves. And yet almost two centuries later these iconic works remain the most famous Christmas stories ever told and a beloved part of Christmas tradition all over the world. Now they are brought together for the first time in this very special holiday recording. Derek Perkins is the Audie and AudioFile Earphones award winning narrator of over 200 audiobooks and an AudioFile Magazines Best Voice. Alison Larkin is the AudioFIle Earphones award winning narrator of over 150 audiobooks, an internationally acclaimed comedienne and the bestselling author of The English American. Hailed by The Times as "hugely entertaining", other popular classics from Alison Larkin Presents include Pride and Prejudice and Songs from Regency England, Persuasion and Poems and Emma by Jane Austen, which was featured in The New Yorker, Agatha Christie's The Secret Adversary which received rave reviews in Publishers Weekly and AudioFile Magazine, Peter Pan and The Inconsiderate Waiter which won an AudioFile Earphones Award and the acclaimed recording of Alice in Wonderland and Jabberwocky, also narrated by Alison Larkin and Derek Perkins.

Some classics are more fun to read than others, this book falls in the former category for sure. Reading the original text that has inspired so many movies was a great experience. Having grown up watching the Mickey Mouse version, it was amusing to find myself subconsciously picturing the Disney characters while reading the descriptions put down by Dickens. Obviously there were a lot of differences.

On the audiobook front, I listened to the version read by John Lee. I can't imagine it having been read better, Lee did an incredible job giving voice to the different characters and emotions (I also gave a Librivox version a short try and Lee's English accent is infinitely preferable). ( )

A favorite of all ages, it seems, A Christmas Carol has been enjoyed by many throughout the years and has spawned several movies and plays. The story is of a miser who is visited by four ghosts on Christmas, the first of which is his old partner in his business who died seven years ago. Through his visits with these apparitions, he realizes the error of his miserly ways and the fatal consequences that they might bear. He emerges at the end of the story as a truly changed man.

The book is an easy read, and one that can be handled by even young children. Yet it is also enjoyable for adults. Indeed, the story is so well accepted that it has even created vocabulary words of it's own. We all know what a "Scrooge" is, don't we?

This book also includes the classic Christmas poem "The Night Before Christmas", also a delight as well as an annual tradition for Christmas Eve celebrations in many families. ( )
