A Christmas Carol - p5
My reading of the fifth and final stave of Charles Dickens' delightful "A Christmas Carol". In the final chapter, Scrooge is redeemed of his wicked ways.
A Christmas Carol - p4
My reading of the fifth stave of Charles Dickens' classic tale "A Christmas Carol". In which the horrifying spectre of the Ghost of Christmas yet To Come appears before Scrooge and torments him with visions of the future (including one of the most evocative scenes in the book, Old Joe's business premises).
A Christmas Carol - p3
My reading of the third stave of Charles Dickens' classic tale "A Christmas Carol". Scrooge meets with the bountiful Ghost of Christmas Present, learns about the happiness of others... but also if left with a dire warning.
A Christmas Carol - p2
My reading of the second stave of Charles Dickens 1843 classic "A Christmas Carol". In this chapter, Scrooge encounters the Ghost of Christmas Past and relieves the highs and lows of his earlier life.
