    Classic, Back in the 70's in December teacher would light candle turn off lights and read this to us in class. Always looked forward to it.

    This was great believe it or not I’m 71 and had never read the book or seen the movie, just knew it was about an old disagreeable man named Scrooge who said Bah Humbug. I also am not all that familiar with all the fairy tales or have forgotten them and see you’ve read a book of them Elliot. This channel is a great find as it’s much easier for me to listen vs read. Thanks so much Elliot and your voice is wonderful for this.

      Not really "olde English." You'd have to go back to medieval times for that. This story was published in 1843, not that long ago, linguistically speaking. Dickens style was just typical of Victorian times - more formal and literary. than modern day American English usage, thankfully.

    Every year I listen to this story and watch various versions, and every year I think of something new. This year, listening to the Fred and Scrooge argument in the beginning, it comes to me that why Scrooge is so dismissive of Fred, is because Fred reminds him of who he could have been if he made different choices. He’s not scoffing when Fred says “I fell in love”, he’s remembering Belle and how he made the choice of money over love, and where it’s led him. Fred made the choice he couldn’t, and despite being “poor” (or at least high middle class), he’s HAPPY.

      I agree. He does do a very good job narrating this. Another good one is Robin Shuckburgh from The Cotswold Explorer. He also has a video where he narrates the story, except his is divided into chapters, or staves, with one video per chapter. This makes it easier when you don't have time to listen to the whole thing at once.

    It is said that when a young girl heard about the death of Charles Dickens, she asked heartbroken "Does that mean that Christmas is canceled as well?"

      So many of the things we take for granted now are very much attributable to Dickens. White Christmases, party games…

    17:56 quote to compare to “man-kind was my business” or Scrooge at the end
    20:17 ghosts really near, list
    26:27 foreshadowing Marley’s chains “screws and nuts” metal strong unbreakable and restricting, just like the chains later
    35:44 alliteration, humour from Scrooge, he is scared so is being less serious and uptight as. he doesn’t know how to react, double interpretation, he doesn’t want to believe in Market as he can already see the afterlife he’s living and doesn’t want to end up the same, goes against his beliefs and morals
    37:17 INCREDIBLE foreshadowing of Innocence and Want, literally Goblins created by him and he’ll remember them for the rest of his life as a reminder to keep his morals in check and be kind
    50:28 why is Scrooge compared to a ferret? Viscous, harsh, but small? How much does Scrooge matter how much damage can Scrooge do? Why does he want to piece the darkness: he likes it… he is scared and shocked and feels nervous where he’s normally comfortable
    51:57 light referes to hope is about to take over Scrooges world
    58:00 doesn’t want hope and to try and correct himself because it’s easy to be selfish
    58:10 Scrooge has ignored his past and how it has made him the person he is today and how it can change him
    59:04 it’s time to change, take not
    2:37:04 describes the spirit
    2:37:34 compare to how he didn’t want past to help wanted the cap on his light (hope)

      Yes you right
      Best of our 19 century
      Difficult to have great writers
      Today
      Yes we even had the best flims back in 1950/60
      All classic stars back then
      Also we had the best British flims back then
      Black and white flims
      Golden years for me.... 1960

    The greatest story ever told. I have a beautifully illustrated edition which I read every year, and this year I followed along listening to your delightful narration. Thank you. (If I may ask thought, to what does this, “complete with sounds and visuals”, refer?)
