Audio Dramatization: Scrooge was a tight-fisted hand at the grind-stone! a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous, old sinner! Hard and sharp as flint, from which no steel had ever struck out generous fire; secret, and self-contained, and solitary as an oyster. The cold within him froze his old features, nipped his pointed nose, shrivelled his cheek, stiffened his gait; made his eyes red, his thin lips blue; and spoke out shrewdly in his grating voice. A frosty rime was on his head, and on his eyebrows, and his wiry chin. He carried his own low temperature always about with him; he iced his office in the dogdays; and didn’t thaw it one degree at Christmas.

“Bah! Humbug!” Ebenezer Scrooge’s dismissal of Christmas cheer is one of literature’s most recognized phrases. Scrooge’s cold and hardened heart serves as the battleground for Dickens’ powerful tale of repentance. When Scrooge emerges from his Christmas Eve visits by three ghosts—Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and Christmas Yet to Come—as a changed man, readers and listeners alike cannot help but be moved by his miraculous conversion.

Voice actor Steve Cook brings this beloved short story to life with sound effects, music, and a host of voices and accents. This new presentation of a timeless classic provides perfect family listening, both in the living room and in the car. Start a new tradition this year by inviting Ebenezer Scrooge to be a part of your Christmas celebration.

A Christmas Carol Hardback with full color illustrations: The story of Ebenezer Scrooge opens on a Christmas Eve as cold as Scrooge's own heart. That night, he receives three ghostly visitors: the terrifying spirits of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come. Each takes him on a heart-stopping journey, yielding glimpses of Tiny Tim and Bob Cratchit, the horrifying spectres of Want and Ignorance, even Scrooge's painfully hopeful younger self. Will Scrooge's heart be opened? Can he reverse the miserable future he is forced to see? Now in an unabridged edition gloriously illustrated by the award-winning P.J. Lynch, this story's message of love and goodwill, mercy and self-redemption resonates as keenly as ever.
