New York Public Library

This month marks the 175th anniversary of A Christmas Carol. It was first published on 19 Dec 1843 by Chapman & Hall.

• FREE -- A Christmas Carol -- Charles Dickens/ Neil Gaiman --> 1.4 hrs --> classic
  
• FREE -- MP3 Download

Even huge Charles Dickens fans may not know that A Christmas Carol is organized in five stanza-like sections called "staves." They might not know the author's only surviving "prompt" copy of the book, that is, Dickens's own annotated version used for live readings, is held at the New York Public Library. But it's without a doubt that Neil Gaiman gives one of the greatest deliveries of the classic holiday tale. Made up to resemble a nineteenth century man by Jeni Ahlfeld, the author was transformed for a performance at the New York Public Library, and his engaging reading captured the liveliness of Dickens' prose. And so, as is our NYPL holiday tradition, we're sharing Gaiman's delightful performance of A Christmas Carol. We hope you enjoy it as part of your family tradition too.

To hear Gaiman recite A Christmas Carol with the annotations Dickens himself used, listen to the rest of this special holiday podcast episode. As the Ghost of Christmas Present might say, you have never seen the like of Gaiman's Dickens rendition before.

This was first performed by Gaiman in Dec 2013 and the NYPL rebroadcasts it every year. See the post below for additional free versions and information for A Christmas Carol.

Maybe you'll have better luck. I'm geo-restricted on most of these daily deals.

Thanks for this, Melmac! I had one credit left from an Audible promotion and couldn't decide what to get with it; and it's unusual for me to find anything I like in these sales. But, I chose a Craig Johnson/Longmire that is missing from my collection, and a new author Jessica Ellicott "Murder in an English Village" that sounds like "my cup of tea"... so, off to listen now. Also, my Echo Dot 3 from the recent Facebook deal was delivered and is waiting for pickup at my PO Box... Great Christmas gifts from me to me.
