Delightful! I'm writing Christmas/New Years greetings while listening. You are the only one who can narrate. All the others are in shadow. Thank you, Tony!
Oh, how beautifully well done. This was wonderful to find. I'll have it up on Jan 6th for "Old Christmas" in memory of my mother. We both loved this story so❤
I just found this. Wonderful! A perfect start to Advent 2022, and so lovely to hear Dickens read in a Northern dialect. I've been told that Dickens had been visiting Manchester prior to writing "A Christmas Carol", and the poverty and squalor that he saw there inspired him to write what has become this timeless story.
Again it would be wonderful to be able to hear this comfortably while outdoors, while walking . It is recorded so softly and quietly. I"m at top volume
It was very generous of you to share your gifts of time, characterization, acting and dialects with this classic. Like others have mentioned, it's been a few years since I read this myself, and it's wonderful to appreciate Dicken's mastery of description and story telling by listening to it. Many thanks---and wishing you a very Merry Christmas and prosperous New Year!
I did it, I finished it today I started it yesterday! I absolutely loved it! Much better than watching a film! There were four different versions I was going to choose from and I chose you! I’m so glad I did! Thank you Tony! I apologise about the message I left last night on your story about hide and seek because I was a bit pissed! So embarrassed today because I cannot remember what I wrote and I don’t want to look!!🧚♀️🌹🌟🌹🧚♀️
I had forgotten the richly evocative and descriptive manner in which Dickens writes and thanks to you I have now remembered , you’ve brought it to life brilliantly with your velvety tones!!!!!! Absolutely marvellous, many thanks and Merry Christmas! 🎄🇦🇺❤️
Thank you for this reading, and for so many hours of listen through the whole year. This is a such a lot of effort and the fact that you share with us so generously is humbling. Also let me say to any of the other listeners who may read this, this is one of the only channels of which I read the comments because there is so much gratitude and appreciation here and I love to be part of it. Happy Christmas everyone! 🌲 🎁 🌲 💝 🎁 🌲
Fantastic story enhanced by your masterful presentation. Heard it on my tv, leaning back with a blanket and a cup of hot cocoa-. Here to give lots of smilies and thumbs up. Thank you!
I’ve shared this Tony. Wishing you a wonderful xmas from New Zealand. Thanks for the many hours of great listening this year. So glad I discovered you. Radio never stops but hopefully I’ll find time to work on my own stories during these hot summer days when all one can do is stay in the shade. Best wishes. Liz
You did it! The long long long long long one! One of the only ones by Charles Dickens That I don’t find depressing, Poverty and evil intentions sometimes make it hard to read, Oliver & a couple have a happy ending- Makes it worthwhile, plus you can watch them at the movies but this year I’m going to listen.... On Christmas day! Second year can’t spend with my family because of them being abroad and because of Covid, so this will cheer me up! Well done Tony! Too soon to wish you a very happy Christmas.... I will do- even though I’ve done it! 🙃When I listen I will do it properly! And I wish you a happy New Year! The best year ever! We all love you!!🌟🌟🌟✨✨✨✨✨ 🕊🤍💜🤍🕊
December 25th: Tony, I promise to be a good girl in 2023 and support you. I will have the spirits of all three in my heart! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
This would have been perfect if not for the music at the end. It made me jump out of my skin. The reading was so relaxing, but then this harsh music sounded like an alarm at the end. Too bad. I have to delete this from my sleep playlist.
Lovely narration of one of my favorite stories by one of my favorite authors. Thank you!
Really pleased you found it
This was the best reading. I'd tried to listen to several librivox recordings and just couldn't get into it. You brought the story alive. Thanks.
I used to watch the Alistair Sims film every Christmas eve.
Thanks for reading this.
Ditto, ditto ditto, this time around! Masterful, Tony! Thank you!!!
Delightful! I'm writing Christmas/New Years greetings while listening. You are the only one who can narrate. All the others are in shadow. Thank you, Tony!
One of the best and wisest stories ever written. Love Dickens.
Beautifully narrated thank you.
Best narration ever!! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! I LOVED doing this, but it doesn't get many listens. Maybe at Christmas :)
possibly my most favorite story in the entire world! I never tire of this story of redemption! Thanks for reading!
Other than too low volume, the narration is brilliant, evocative, suspenseful,sensual,thrilling.
Oh, how beautifully well done. This was wonderful to find. I'll have it up on Jan 6th for "Old Christmas" in memory of my mother. We both loved this story so❤
Thank you. Dickens wrote great loyal men like nephew and clerk and so many in Great Expectations - loyal, generous, faithful, strong men💛
Beautiful reading.
It must be about 45 years since I read this book aged about 9 or 10.
Wonderfully read, I thoroughly enjoyed it, thank you.
Charlie 🇬🇧

Ditto this time around. Perfect for this Christmas Eve. Thank you!
