Whenever I feel depressed around the Christmas time I always look to CAROL to always show what the day really means for me and I always feel better. A Merry Christmas to all here and happy new year too
Yeah I always struggled with depression around Christmas time as I always have spent it alone for the last ten years..I fell out with my family 10 years ago and I always think about them this time of year..Hope you all have a beautiful Christmas and a happy new year too ❤
My mother used to read this to all five of us in front of a fireplace with a cup of hot chocolate! Thank you Charles Dickens and Mom for this legacy. A great reading sir. Storytelling is our heritage we cannot afford to lose it.
Thank you. I have an image of Charles Dickens in a wing backed chair, placed by a large roaring fire, smiling and chuckling with pleasure and approval as you narrate his most loved Christmas story. It took you many many days, I’m sure, to produce this gift for your followers. Thank you feels inadequate, so please imagine a gloriously over the top gushing appreciation full of praise, and that will come close to how much I really do thank you. 🌟🌟🌟
It's half past six in the morning, Christmas day [2021] and it started snowing about 45 minutes ago. The ground is already white all over. It was over thirty years ago the last time it snowed here on Christmas day. We're lucky [or unlucky if you own a car] if we get a couple of inches of snow in January or February, and it usually only stays around long enough to complicate the morning commute before it rains off so this is pretty special. It's a quiet, one household Christmas this year due to several issues, and as I look out over my neighbourhood, all I feel right now is peace and contentment [and a strong desire for ice cream, snow always makes me crave ice cream]. I'm neither rich nor privileged, I live a modest life, but a Christmas morning like this makes me remember and be grateful for every small bit of good fortune in my life. I wish ALL of you, no matter what you celebrate this time of year, the same peace and contentment. Merry Christmas.
@@janlundberg5924 Vancouver B.C. Canada. It looks like we MAY have snow again this year, although they say it will stop on the 23rd, that can change. One can only hope. Last year, it snowed the WHOLE day, never stopped. The day was spent cooking, listening to music, watching old musicals, and of course eating. It was one of the most peaceful Christmas's I've ever spent. It would be just too wonderful if it happens again. Here's wishing you and yours as happy a Christmas as I had last year and hope to repeat this year.
@@janetcw9808 It snowed here this past Tuesday, like it did Christmas day last year, of course being a normal business day, it was less tranquil than last year, 1 hour commute taking four hours, etc. and we've just dug ourselves out enough for the next snowfall tonight. Unfortunately by Christmas eve day, it will turn to rain, and rain the entire week following. Almost but not quite a white Christmas. Doesn't matter, it's STILL going to be a wonderful day.
I live in eastern Tennessee, US, in the foothills of the Smokies mountains. We rarely have snow here where I live with the exception of the mountains which does get snow during winter. If we do get any it's usually in January and February. Then it's just a dusting most of the time. When snow is predicted I get so excited since I love snowfalls. A few years back we did get snow on Christmas eve and I was ecstatic lol!! It didn't last but a day or so but it was wonderful!!! I grew up where we always had snow by Thanksgiving thru February. Holidays to me r not the same without snow. The winter wonder land so peaceful and beautiful❤.
My favourite of Charles Dickens work and you made it very enjoyable to listen to . Getting older makes reading this harder but I’ve read it every year since I since I was 16 and watch every movie they make of the book , so it was a joy to find this . I will be 70 soon so that you again for the pleasure 👏🇨🇦☃️❄️
Christmas Carol always gets me into the Christmas spirit, excuse the pun. Loved this story as a child and have never tired of it. Dickens pure genius. Thank you 😘
My parents had a recording of this. I'm sure it was bought in the 1950's. It was frightening, I still remember looking behind me as we listened to it. I wish I had that album now. This is very well done, thank you.
Stave II This couldn't have come along at a better time for me. My wife is away caring for a very ill friend out of town. I am trying my best to listen to this one stave per evening and not to get ahead of myself. Tempting to continue on to the Ghost of Christmas Present but I will listen one stave per night until Christmas Eve. Thank you again for brightening my holiday. And a special thanks to the founder of the feast: Mr Dickens himself.
Three years later dear Simon our thanks is as effervescent. A fabulous performance I have listened to many times, regardless of the season. However today, December 15, I am wrapped in your voice speaking Mr Dickens’s words. A very Merry Christmas to you all. ❤❤aunty.
hi can you help me there are some qutestion for me if its possible answer them 1. What is Ebeneezer Scrooge's business? 2. How does Scrooge react to the appearance of the first ghost? 3. What does the second ghost show Mr. Scrooge, when they first meet? 4. What does seeing people enjoying Christmas teach Scrooge? 5. Is Scrooge sad or happy at the end of the story?
@@mohsenhashemi1080 Hi Mohsen, Please take the time to listen to this recording. All of the answers to your questions are there. It’s a fantastic story about Good Will to All Men. I hope you enjoy it. And a Very Merry Christmas to you and yours!
@@gwmitchell1980 omg its my english assignment and im so lazy to listen to this long story and charles dickens stories have so many old words that is hard to understandig ;( i take your advice , Merry christams to u , and thanks for answering :D
I can't tell you how much we're enjoying this. Your reading of it is one thing but your respect for the original prose is something else altogether. No editing as far as I can tell and no "dumbing down" of the language. We're listening to one stave a day up to Christmas. Savouring it you might say. What a Christmas feast! Many, many thanks.
Remarkably well read! You must have spent weeks on this recording, to get all the moods, all the voices, and Dickens' own unique style down so perfectly. I've heard and read the story dozens of times, but this reading really refreshed and delighted me! A thousand thanks!! Masterpiece!
Thank you so much for your very kind words, I'm touched. Yes indeed this story has been a personal favourite of mine since childhood so I really wanted to tackle it and I hope do it justice, so I did spend extra time on this one. So glad to know you enjoyed it, all best wishes
You definitely succeeded. Beautifully read. It kills me that our Christmas in Australia is normally 30 to 35 degrees Celsius. BBQ down the beach, ice cold beer and wine. I'd kill for a snow ❄️ Christmas, just once.😢 Bah Humbug.😢
@@louise7552 : There is nothing preventing you from re-celebrating it six months later, in the depths of winter. Rebirth can really happen at any time of year, if you put your mind and heart to it. If it doesn't come to you, you can go to it.
Every Christmas season, I listen to this story. It is extremely attractive to me. Another Christmas season has come, wishing everyone peace and happiness. Thank you author, God bless you!
Many thanks for this brilliant rendering of a true classic. I know you put a lot of your valuable time into this rendition, a beautiful Christmas gift to a lot of people you've never met. In these massively troubled times, a strongly positive emotional experience is all too rare. Dickens' warm and warming tale is only matched by your moving narration. I've noted before how perfect your voice and your gift as a reader are for the classic ghost, horror and suspense tales you usually read for us. They're also ideally suited for this one, which can seem maudlin in the wrong hands. Somewhere not too far away, Mr. Dickens is smiling.

I am so surprised that I enjoyed this so very much even more than the films or reading myself Thank you so very much for this brilliant rendering Mr. Stanhope.
I, like you, have adored this story since childhood. In recent years, as I make festive preparations, I listen to it read aloud and I know that I will never tire of it in my lifetime. A replica of the original 1st edition goes on display each year at Christmas time and my mind can never let go of the wonderful descriptions through the staves including the lessons for humanity that still resonate today. 178 years will have passed this month since A Christmas Carol was published and I believe it captures hearts and minds as much today as when the 1st editions sold out by Christmas Eve in 1843. Your recited version is by far the best I have heard and it is obviously read by someone who holds close every word. Truly wonderful and a gift to those that listen. Many thanks to you and with it being that most appropriate time of year to say it a Merry Christmas to you.
I really enjoyed this version of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. Wow, your voice is remarkable. Thank you very much for sharing. And by the way, Merry Christmas and a Happy 2022 to all of you. Bless us everyone
@@BitesizedAudio its nice to see that you responded to eliza's comment a year after you uploaaded this reading. i think too many people uplooad their content and then seem to forget about it and dont respond to comments or probably ever read them. "youtubers" just flood youtube with their stuff and dont care. i think it was a bad idea to start letting people make money by making videos like a career.
Thank you Mac. I do like to read all the comments I receive, although it appears I sometimes don't get notifications of all of them from YT, and I always aim to respond when appropriate, especially to new listeners or regulars. Thanks for listening and taking the time to comment!
Yes he's really into character I like when they go into the character the rest of them just talk like with everyday voice which is very very boring thank you for getting into character great job
My Christmas is never complete without some form of the Christmas Carol. Since I am currently recovering in a nursing home and cannot get my versions, this is perfect. Thank you for letting me enjoy this wonderful version. Merry Christmas!
as fine a rendition of this classic as any I've heard , imparting as intended cause for personal reflection and introspection . BRAVO and thank you kindly .
I LOVE YOUR STORYTELLING. YOU MAKE EACH CHARACTER STAND OUT FROM THE OTHERS AND HEARING YOUR NARRATION CREATES A VISUAL IMAGE IN MY MIND. YOUR STORYTELLING IS NOT THE " THE WAH, WAH, WAH" I HEAR LISTENING TO SOME OTHER NARRATORS. JOB WELL DONE. THANK YOU, MR. STANHOPE FOR BITESIZE AUDIO.
Thank you very much! It must take a lot to do something like this for strangers. This must have taken a long time! Me and my children thank you so very kindly!!!!
This is just wonderful, probably the best I've listened too and believe me....I've listened to quite a few variations of a Christmas Carol, but this is one is terrific, you have done Charles Dickens proud, thank you so much for this, I'm sitting here warm and snug while a ferocious thunderstorm is going on outside and absolutely revelling in your words, a fine narration for sure ....thank you again !!
How wonderful Bob, I'm really touched to know that you enjoy it so much. It is indeed a beautifully crafted story, an absolute favourite of mine since childhood too, and I'm glad to have had the opportunity to record it for this channel. Thank you also for sharing your Christmas story with me, I've just seen your other post. I'm rushing around doing errands right now but I shall set aside some time in the next day or so to sit down and enjoy it. Thank you!
Wonderfully done! I meant to stretch it out and listen to a little each day, but I couldn't resist, and indulged myself by listening to it all in one go. And I have no regrets in doing so, such a beautiful reading of this story. Charles Dickens is one of my favorite writers, thank you for sharing with us.
Every Christmas I watch two versions and every year my heart breaks to think back to how life was for my great grandparents lives in such an unforgiving society at that time. The sentiments in this story really show us what the Christmas spirit should be....a wake up call for us every year.
Merry Christmas to you, Simon, and your family! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your tremendous work! I'm a non-native English speaker and unfortunately I can't fully comprehend this book. Dickens's vocabulary is just over my head! But I admire the way you're narrating it. Carefully and skilfully. It's pleasure to listen to again and again. I read "A Christmas Carol" ten years ago at school, translated, and loved that story. And lately I wished to recollect it, but this time in original, and found your audiobook. And I'm glad I did. It helps me to enrich my English.
Simply marvelous! :) as good as Alistair Sims. your laughter blessed the air. (there is no film which comes close to him or that production.). by the way, it’s April, 2022. sometimes one just needs to be cheered and just plain happy. thanks so much. :) 🎄🌺
As good as AS and better than Sir Patrick! Getting ready for my 82nd Christmas. My dad read this to us every year until we could finally afford a television set.
I truly loved the story!! Every year at Christmas I make it a point to watch the movie on TV, but ,as it always said, the book is far better than the movie. Your narration, as always, was perfectly read too!! Thank u for your Bite-Sized Audios. I have, for a long time, enjoyed them and u. Love ghost stories and mysteries. My favorites, especially Victorian. Such a great era. Your loyal fan and friend here in eastern Tennessee, US. ❤
I’d been promising myself I would listen to this and I’m glad I did. Dickens was a genius, Simon reads wonderfully. Has rekindled my interest in Dickens . Thanks 🙏 for upload. Love ❤️ it
Wonderful! I have been raving about the individual releases to my wife for some time now and I think I've piqued her curiosity enough that I can get her to listen to this. She's an audiobook fanatic and just started a new book, but I'm hoping she can set that aside temporarily and listen to this in the next couple of days. Happy Christmas, Simon!
This is one of the most delightful narrations of A Christmas Carol. Thank you so much, Simon. It's only October, but I really needed a little Christmas.
A delightful rendition!! The reader is a perfect match for this tale. I love being read to. Thank-you for posting this story! Merry Christmas to all and God bless us every one! jls
Marvelous. Absolutely brilliant!! I cannot thank you enough for making this masterpiece all the more special to listen to with your distinctive flair for reading. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Keep going my friend!!.
For many generations the word "humbug" has been rarely used but instantly recognized!!! I'm determined to keep it alive ..yikes .. synchronicity.. As I am writing I hear the words keep it alive ... This may be my favorite of all Dickens' stories...
I've read the book several times and I enjoy hearing the audiobook too. I have played Scrooge 3 times in our community theater productions and every time I hear the book I discover something new about him that helps my performance on stage. Also, I am pretty sure I am the first Arapaho man in history to play Scrooge.
Marvellous. Thank you for a most brilliant and moving narration Mr Stanhope, absolutely superb. Thank you also Charles Dickens who not only wrote the most magnificent, educational stories of the times and his era, but also helped and campaigned for better conditions for the poor and poverty stricken. Brazo! Xxx ❤
Having never gotten through the book myself, I appreciate this greatly! It surprises me how much the muppet Christmas carol actually stayed true to this, particularly with the original version of that movie. Would never have expected that without hearing the book!
I read this every year and I listen to your wonderful version while I work at this time of year. Thank you for such a brilliant read you really bring this story to life for me, Merry Christmas
Saved this the greatest Xmas tale to listen to with my family over the festive season and it didn't disappoint. Thank you Simon for another great narration🤩

My mother used to read this to all five of us in front of a fireplace with a cup of hot chocolate! Thank you Charles Dickens and Mom for this legacy. A great reading sir. Storytelling is our heritage we cannot afford to lose it.
Love this! I’ve made a promise to myself to read it to my kids this Christmas.
OMG! I wish I had kids so I could do that too!!!!!!!!!!
If you have nieces or nephews created loving memories . They are an anchor as one gets older. Peace and blessings! @@reginasemenenko148
@@reginasemenenko148
It's not just for kids. I'll bet the old folks down at your local nursing home would love hearing you read it to them too.
Thank you. I have an image of Charles Dickens in a wing backed chair, placed by a large roaring fire, smiling and chuckling with pleasure and approval as you narrate his most loved Christmas story. It took you many many days, I’m sure, to produce this gift for your followers. Thank you feels inadequate, so please imagine a gloriously over the top gushing appreciation full of praise, and that will come close to how much I really do thank you. 🌟🌟🌟
What a lovely image! Thank you aunty
@@BitesizedAudio you are so very welcome.
@@BitesizedAudio Ues, who can disagree with this?
I can smell the gooses, and the smeldering cowls in the fire area.
Very jolly
It's half past six in the morning, Christmas day [2021] and it started snowing about 45 minutes ago.
The ground is already white all over.
It was over thirty years ago the last time it snowed here on Christmas day.
We're lucky [or unlucky if you own a car] if we get a couple of inches of snow in January or February, and it usually only stays around long enough to complicate the morning commute before it rains off so this is pretty special.
It's a quiet, one household Christmas this year due to several issues, and as I look out over my neighbourhood, all I feel right now is peace and contentment [and a strong desire for ice cream, snow always makes me crave ice cream].
I'm neither rich nor privileged, I live a modest life, but a Christmas morning like this makes me remember and be grateful for every small bit of good fortune in my life.
I wish ALL of you, no matter what you celebrate this time of year, the same peace and contentment.
Merry Christmas.
What state?
@@janlundberg5924 Vancouver B.C. Canada.
It looks like we MAY have snow again this year, although they say it will stop on the 23rd, that can change.
One can only hope.
Last year, it snowed the WHOLE day, never stopped.
The day was spent cooking, listening to music, watching old musicals, and of course eating.
It was one of the most peaceful Christmas's I've ever spent.
It would be just too wonderful if it happens again.
Here's wishing you and yours as happy a Christmas as I had last year and hope to repeat this year.
@@Voodoomaria All good wishes ⛄🎄❤️♥️🕊️🏴
@@janetcw9808 It snowed here this past Tuesday, like it did Christmas day last year, of course being a normal business day, it was less tranquil than last year, 1 hour commute taking four hours, etc. and we've just dug ourselves out enough for the next snowfall tonight.
Unfortunately by Christmas eve day, it will turn to rain, and rain the entire week following.
Almost but not quite a white Christmas.
Doesn't matter, it's STILL going to be a wonderful day.
I live in eastern Tennessee, US, in the foothills of the Smokies mountains. We rarely have snow here where I live with the exception of the mountains which does get snow during winter. If we do get any it's usually in January and February. Then it's just a dusting most of the time. When snow is predicted I get so excited since I love snowfalls. A few years back we did get snow on Christmas eve and I was ecstatic lol!! It didn't last but a day or so but it was wonderful!!! I grew up where we always had snow by Thanksgiving thru February. Holidays to me r not the same without snow. The winter wonder land so peaceful and beautiful❤.
My favourite of Charles Dickens work and you made it very enjoyable to listen to . Getting older makes reading this harder but I’ve read it every year since I since I was 16 and watch every movie they make of the book , so it was a joy to find this . I will be 70 soon so that you again for the pleasure 👏🇨🇦☃️❄️
❤❤
Christmas Carol always gets me into the Christmas spirit, excuse the pun. Loved this story as a child and have never tired of it. Dickens pure genius.
Thank you 😘
Yes indeed, it's a truly timeless classic. Thanks @Gumblina1
@@BitesizedAudio
A Victorian genius. (full stop)
I'm sorry, but I don't like the title of the novel. 😂
This story becomes more and more pertinent every time I hear it.
Beautifully read, Sir - and a most worthy vehicle for your talents :)
Thank you Brendan!
I absolutely agree. It gets deeper and richer every year. What a gift great literature is. Especially when read beautifully. Thank you all.
Christmas isn’t Christmas without this❤
My parents had a recording of this. I'm sure it was bought in the 1950's. It was frightening, I still remember looking behind me as we listened to it. I wish I had that album now.
This is very well done, thank you.
Stave II This couldn't have come along at a better time for me. My wife is away caring for a very ill friend out of town. I am trying my best to listen to this one stave per evening and not to get ahead of myself. Tempting to continue on to the Ghost of Christmas Present but I will listen one stave per night until Christmas Eve. Thank you again for brightening my holiday. And a special thanks to the founder of the feast: Mr Dickens himself.
So glad to know that Ron. Thank you, and all best wishes to you and your wife, as well as your friend, for a peaceful Christmas.
Three years later dear Simon our thanks is as effervescent. A fabulous performance I have listened to many times, regardless of the season. However today, December 15, I am wrapped in your voice speaking Mr Dickens’s words.
A very Merry Christmas to you all. ❤❤aunty.
Most enjoyable. I read the Carol every year - nice to have it read to me for a change! Merry Christmas.🎄🎁
Me too. This is good, very good.
Merry Christmas to you, too🎄.
hi can you help me there are some qutestion for me if its possible answer them
1. What is Ebeneezer Scrooge's business?
2. How does Scrooge react to the appearance of the first ghost?
3. What does the second ghost show Mr. Scrooge, when they first meet?
4. What does seeing people enjoying Christmas teach Scrooge?
5. Is Scrooge sad or happy at the end of the story?
@@mohsenhashemi1080 Hi Mohsen,
Please take the time to listen to this recording. All of the answers to your questions are there.
It’s a fantastic story about Good Will to All Men.
I hope you enjoy it.
And a Very Merry Christmas to you and yours!
@@gwmitchell1980 omg its my english assignment and im so lazy to listen to this long story and charles dickens stories have so many old words that is hard to understandig ;( i take your advice , Merry christams to u , and thanks for answering :D
This story by Dickens' made him my favorite author as a child.
This story is unsurpassed!
I can't tell you how much we're enjoying this. Your reading of it is one thing but your respect for the original prose is something else altogether. No editing as far as I can tell and no "dumbing down" of the language. We're listening to one stave a day up to Christmas. Savouring it you might say. What a Christmas feast! Many, many thanks.
Very kind of you to say so, thank you Ron. Best wishes for Christmas
This was just Fabulous! I enjoyed every last word. I encourage anyone that wants to listen to this story to look no further.
Appreciated, thanks Jeremy
Fantastic, Superb!
Great dramatic reading! Your voice of Old Joe is fantastic! Really creeps up my spine! Well done, Simon!
Remarkably well read! You must have spent weeks on this recording, to get all the moods, all the voices, and Dickens' own unique style down so perfectly. I've heard and read the story dozens of times, but this reading really refreshed and delighted me! A thousand thanks!! Masterpiece!
Thank you so much for your very kind words, I'm touched. Yes indeed this story has been a personal favourite of mine since childhood so I really wanted to tackle it and I hope do it justice, so I did spend extra time on this one. So glad to know you enjoyed it, all best wishes
You definitely succeeded. Beautifully read. It kills me that our Christmas in Australia is normally 30 to 35 degrees Celsius. BBQ down the beach, ice cold beer and wine. I'd kill for a snow ❄️ Christmas, just once.😢 Bah Humbug.😢
@@louise7552 : There is nothing preventing you from re-celebrating it six months later, in the depths of winter. Rebirth can really happen at any time of year, if you put your mind and heart to it. If it doesn't come to you, you can go to it.
As perfect a performance as I've ever heard of this beloved tale. Thank you for a completely delightful three and a half hours!
Best recording of A Christmas Carol I have ever heard. Perfect voice for the story and I loved the voices for each character. Thank you!
Every Christmas season, I listen to this story. It is extremely attractive to me. Another Christmas season has come, wishing everyone peace and happiness. Thank you author, God bless you!
Well done! Some of these long passages, with many commas, cannot have been easy, yet never a falter. Loved it.
Many thanks for this brilliant rendering of a true classic. I know you put a lot of your valuable time into this rendition, a beautiful Christmas gift to a lot of people you've never met. In these massively troubled times, a strongly positive emotional experience is all too rare. Dickens' warm and warming tale is only matched by your moving narration. I've noted before how perfect your voice and your gift as a reader are for the classic ghost, horror and suspense tales you usually read for us. They're also ideally suited for this one, which can seem maudlin in the wrong hands. Somewhere not too far away, Mr. Dickens is smiling.
Thanks for your kind words David, much appreciated!
Very well said.
I didn't know that bite sized audio classics read other books.
I'm going to have to check him out.
Thank you so very much 💞

Thank you so very much for this brilliant rendering Mr. Stanhope.
I literally laughed and cried. You told it so well! Thank you!
I, like you, have adored this story since childhood. In recent years, as I make festive preparations, I listen to it read aloud and I know that I will never tire of it in my lifetime. A replica of the original 1st edition goes on display each year at Christmas time and my mind can never let go of the wonderful descriptions through the staves including the lessons for humanity that still resonate today. 178 years will have passed this month since A Christmas Carol was published and I believe it captures hearts and minds as much today as when the 1st editions sold out by Christmas Eve in 1843. Your recited version is by far the best I have heard and it is obviously read by someone who holds close every word. Truly wonderful and a gift to those that listen. Many thanks to you and with it being that most appropriate time of year to say it a Merry Christmas to you.
Thank you James, same to you
May the Almighty bless the reader. Thank you so much dear sir!
Time to get in the mood for the holidays. Can't think of a better start than coming back for a re-listen of your perfect reading Simon.
That's lovely to know, thank you for your kind comment Angela. Definitely a wonderful story for getting into the Christmas spirit
Every time I listen I hear something I never heard before. Such a delight. Always a delight. ❤
Same .
I really enjoyed this version of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. Wow, your voice is remarkable. Thank you very much for sharing. And by the way, Merry Christmas and a Happy 2022 to all of you. Bless us everyone
Thank you Eliza! Merry Christmas to you too
@@BitesizedAudio its nice to see that you responded to eliza's comment a year after you uploaaded this reading. i think too many people uplooad their content and then seem to forget about it and dont respond to comments or probably ever read them. "youtubers" just flood youtube with their stuff and dont care. i think it was a bad idea to start letting people make money by making videos like a career.
Thank you Mac. I do like to read all the comments I receive, although it appears I sometimes don't get notifications of all of them from YT, and I always aim to respond when appropriate, especially to new listeners or regulars. Thanks for listening and taking the time to comment!
Yes he's really into character I like when they go into the character the rest of them just talk like with everyday voice which is very very boring thank you for getting into character great job
Charles Dickens - never fails .
I'm so happy to have found this story and through it this channel!
My Christmas is never complete without some form of the Christmas Carol. Since I am currently recovering in a nursing home and cannot get my versions, this is perfect. Thank you for letting me enjoy this wonderful version. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you too Joann, thank you for listening and taking the time to comment. Best wishes
I hope your recovery is quick and complete. Merry Christmas and happy new year.
You can get all versions on RUclips
Thank you for posting the original story.
I love this story it does bring happy tears to my eyes every time ♥️🎄♥️
I still get teary eyed when he goes to his nephew's home!
@vincent anguoni - For me, it is the lonely boy alone and abandoned at the school.
Me too!
Your rendition comforts me deeply. No superlative could do it justice. It is, quite simply, perfection IMHO. ❤
Excellent. The best audio version yet!
Thank you Martin!
Yes, the narration is perfect, as is all the wonderful stories on this treat of a channel✊❤️
A classic that has become apart and parcel of my Christmas ritual...Thanks
That's a third full listen, Simon, and still six days to go so who knows how many more?! This is such a joy. Such a joy. ❤
How wonderful, thank you Bob! You'll know the text better than me soon!
Love listening to these audiobooks, so much more depiction of the story compared to plain movies.
Your voice brings so much authonticity to this story
as fine a rendition of this classic as any I've heard , imparting as intended cause for personal reflection and introspection . BRAVO and thank you kindly .
Splendid! Well done! My doggie and I loved it and put us in Christmas spirits.
Brilliant! A must listen to get into the Holiday Spirit! Well done, thank you!
WONDERFUL! in every way. Thank you!
I LOVE YOUR STORYTELLING. YOU MAKE EACH CHARACTER STAND OUT FROM THE OTHERS AND HEARING YOUR NARRATION CREATES A VISUAL IMAGE IN MY MIND. YOUR STORYTELLING IS NOT THE " THE WAH, WAH, WAH" I HEAR LISTENING TO SOME OTHER NARRATORS. JOB WELL DONE. THANK YOU, MR. STANHOPE FOR BITESIZE AUDIO.
You have the perfect voice for the story. Thank you for a wonderful rendition.
You're most welcome, thanks Kerry!
Voices, plural. Lovely differentiation of the different characters.
12/25/2022 - Thank you for providing this recording of my annual listening to this tale. ♥️♥️
Merry Christmas!
Thank you very much! It must take a lot to do something like this for strangers. This must have taken a long time! Me and my children thank you so very kindly!!!!
Fantastic narration. Thank you for sharing your talent, it adds so much to this classic story.
Thank you kindly!
This is just wonderful, probably the best I've listened too and believe me....I've listened to quite a few variations of a Christmas Carol, but this is one is terrific, you have done Charles Dickens proud, thank you so much for this, I'm sitting here warm and snug while a ferocious thunderstorm is going on outside and absolutely revelling in your words, a fine narration for sure ....thank you again !!
Thank you so much for your very kind words, Chrissy. That sounds like the perfect atmosphere - stay warm!
What a great laugh you have. Have enjoyed All your stories but this is your masterpiece. Thank you for many hours listening to your remarkable voice.
You're most welcome Beth, thank you for your lovely comment!
20 : 52 I' m glad to listen to your excellent singing and lovely voice.
Thank you, dear Simon!!!
It doesn't matter how old I get I always love a story to be read to me thank you 🎄💖
Perfection Mr Stanhope! Thank you...
Thank you kindly! Merry Christmas
I'm back again, Simon. I've lost count. Genius book and genius rendition. An absolute Christmas blessing. Thank you so much. ❤
How wonderful Bob, I'm really touched to know that you enjoy it so much. It is indeed a beautifully crafted story, an absolute favourite of mine since childhood too, and I'm glad to have had the opportunity to record it for this channel. Thank you also for sharing your Christmas story with me, I've just seen your other post. I'm rushing around doing errands right now but I shall set aside some time in the next day or so to sit down and enjoy it. Thank you!
Wonderfully done! I meant to stretch it out and listen to a little each day, but I couldn't resist, and indulged myself by listening to it all in one go. And I have no regrets in doing so, such a beautiful reading of this story. Charles Dickens is one of my favorite writers, thank you for sharing with us.
Every Christmas I watch two versions and every year my heart breaks to think back to how life was for my great grandparents lives in such an unforgiving society at that time.
The sentiments in this story really show us what the Christmas spirit should be....a wake up call for us every year.
A truly enjoyable listen. Thank you and Merry Christmas to you.
Beautifully read. Congratulations. You have a most expressive and likeable voice. I am 90 and first read this over Christmas Eve night when I was 9.
How wonderful, thank you so much for listening and for your very kind words. Best wishes
It’s my first time hearing you read this story, a lifelong favorite of mine. It is simply delightful, and you are a treasure ❤️
One of the best narrations.
Very kind of you to say so, thank you!
Beautifully done!
His voice is perfect for reading aloud.
Same . It's a gift not every one has .
Merry Christmas to you, Simon, and your family! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your tremendous work!
I'm a non-native English speaker and unfortunately I can't fully comprehend this book. Dickens's vocabulary is just over my head! But I admire the way you're narrating it. Carefully and skilfully. It's pleasure to listen to again and again.
I read "A Christmas Carol" ten years ago at school, translated, and loved that story. And lately I wished to recollect it, but this time in original, and found your audiobook. And I'm glad I did. It helps me to enrich my English.
Simply marvelous! :) as good as Alistair Sims. your laughter blessed the air. (there is no film which comes close to him or that production.).
by the way, it’s April, 2022. sometimes one just needs to be cheered and just plain happy. thanks so much. :) 🎄🌺
As good as AS and better than Sir Patrick! Getting ready for my 82nd Christmas. My dad read this to us every year until we could finally afford a television set.
I truly loved the story!! Every year at Christmas I make it a point to watch the movie on TV, but ,as it always said, the book is far better than the movie. Your narration, as always, was perfectly read too!! Thank u for your Bite-Sized Audios. I have, for a long time, enjoyed them and u. Love ghost stories and mysteries. My favorites, especially Victorian. Such a great era. Your loyal fan and friend here in eastern Tennessee, US. ❤
First time listened to this Yuletide season. First of many. My joy. My deep, deep joy. ❤
Merry Christmas Simon. I never get tired of this. Perfect to listen to while fixing the food for Christmas eve and day as I am now.
Merry Christmas Angela, wishing you and your loved ones all the best for the holiday season and into 2022
I’d been promising myself I would listen to this and I’m glad I did. Dickens was a genius, Simon reads wonderfully. Has rekindled my interest in Dickens . Thanks 🙏 for upload. Love ❤️ it
Oh nice! Thank you for also uploading this as one full book. Super! 😘
You're welcome. I know some people prefer to listen straight through....
Thank you so much for uploading the story. I'm thoroughly enjoying it.
Merry Christmas to you.
Merry Christmas, all.
God Bless Us.
Everyone.
🎄❤🎄❤🎄
Great reading of this wonderful story. Thank you.
Thank you Darryl, glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for reading. Have a merry holiday everyone 😙
Thanks Antonia, you too
Brilliant as always Thank You
Thanks Frank!
My first time read!
I’ll keep my thoughts posted throughout my ride.
Wonderful! I have been raving about the individual releases to my wife for some time now and I think I've piqued her curiosity enough that I can get her to listen to this. She's an audiobook fanatic and just started a new book, but I'm hoping she can set that aside temporarily and listen to this in the next couple of days.
Happy Christmas, Simon!
How lovely, I do hope she enjoys it! Happy Christmas to you too!
Absolutely loved this version of the story. Thank you.
So glad to know that, thanks for listening Maria
Thanks so much for the reading! My favorite
Dickens story and my fave Christmas story.
Thank you 💕 My favourite novel from Charles Dickens .
This is one of the most delightful narrations of A Christmas Carol. Thank you so much, Simon. It's only October, but I really needed a little Christmas.
chuckle chuckle
Get best sound by casting to my tv. Have truly enjoyed my annual reading. Thank you!
A delightful rendition!! The reader is a perfect match for this tale. I love being read to. Thank-you for posting this story! Merry Christmas to all and God bless us every one! jls
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for your lovely comment, happy Christmas to you too
Thank you for this Timeless tale . Dickens was a Gentleman and a Genius.
Timeless indeed, it is such a wonderful story. Thanks for your support
@@BitesizedAudio Sir its a honor and your the Best. Wishing you a Happy New year
Read this to perfection Thank You
Really enjoyed this. I've listened to several versions but this one was the best!
Very kind of you to say so, thank you!
So wonderful.GOD BLESS US,EVERYONE!
Marvelous. Absolutely brilliant!! I cannot thank you enough for making this masterpiece all the more special to listen to with your distinctive flair for reading. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Keep going my friend!!.
For many generations the word "humbug" has been rarely used but instantly recognized!!! I'm determined to keep it alive ..yikes .. synchronicity..
As I am writing I hear the words keep it alive ...
This may be my favorite of all Dickens' stories...
I've seen many movies of this story, bur first time reading this Christmas classic. Thank you for making this!
You're very welcome! Thanks for listening Phil
Excellent! Made me cry a little.
shush
I've read the book several times and I enjoy hearing the audiobook too. I have played Scrooge 3 times in our community theater productions and every time I hear the book I discover something new about him that helps my performance on stage. Also, I am pretty sure I am the first Arapaho man in history to play Scrooge.
This and Bram Stoker’s 1897 “Dracula” are my two favourite books of all time!
Marvellous. Thank you for a most brilliant and moving narration Mr Stanhope, absolutely superb. Thank you also Charles Dickens who not only wrote the most magnificent, educational stories of the times and his era, but also helped and campaigned for better conditions for the poor and poverty stricken. Brazo! Xxx ❤
Having never gotten through the book myself, I appreciate this greatly! It surprises me how much the muppet Christmas carol actually stayed true to this, particularly with the original version of that movie. Would never have expected that without hearing the book!
Thank you so so much for this, I am studying A Christmas Carol for English GCSE and this is very helpful 😊
Glad to know that!
One of my favorite stories. I listen to it every year... Thank you for this narration.
I read this every year and I listen to your wonderful version while I work at this time of year. Thank you for such a brilliant read you really bring this story to life for me, Merry Christmas
A VERY MERY VERY MERY CHRISTMAS TO US ONE AND ALL AMEN
Saved this the greatest Xmas tale to listen to with my family over the festive season and it didn't disappoint. Thank you Simon for another great narration🤩
So glad to know that, I hope you had a good Christmas. Best wishes for 2021
@@BitesizedAudio and a happy New Year to you too . I look forward to your readings which are such a comfort in these difficult times 😃
I love watching or listening to this story any time of the year 🙏🏼
