    It's hard to say if this story is a carol or if it's more of a ghost story. Only Charles Dickens could create the haunting, dark setting and themes of eternal damnation but still manage to dot the same scenes with the warmth of Christmas and the hope of personal redemption.
    If you're asking what a "stave" is, don't worry. I had to look it up too. In older days, people looked forward each year to gathering together and singing Christmas carols. It was a fun tradition shared among family and close friends and it was a scenario Dickens hoped people would adapt for the recitation of his work. So, he called it "A Christmas Carol." A stave (or staff if you're American) is one of those 5 lines you see in sheet music that differentiate pitch. So, in the same way that a book may be separated into 5 chapters, Dickens separated his "Carol" into 5 staves!
    I hope you enjoyed this recording and please let me know your thoughts on this rendition in the comments and give me some suggestions on the next ambient storytelling project!

    Now that is the best reading I have encountered so far. It even passes the test that in "the wisdom of our ancestors is in the simile" the reader puts the stress on "the wisdom of our ancestors" and not on "in the simile", as most others do, showing that he bothered to understand what he was reading.

      I think you would like "A Blackadder Christmas Carol". It's like "A Christmas Carol" in reverse. The Scrooge character starts out as real generous and nice, then sees how much fun his relatives are having being mean and ends up like them.
