Charles Dickens - A Christmas Carol (performed by Patrick Stewart)

This last version of the classic is not an audiobook per se, but a one-man "interpretation" of the work by Stewart. He performed it on stage and then recorded the performance.

The audio recording is quite good, although it does not compare to the stage production, which I was lucky enough to see in New York in the early nineties.

Stewart does take some liberties with the text for dramatic effect, but the story is intact and the end product quite enjoyable.

      I personally like it better than his video production.
