  • I try to read A Christmas Carol once a year. It's a brilliant tale and I think it would be a great tonic for anyone feeling a bit low after the year we've had. It's a message of hope and redemption, beautifully written by Dickens at the height of his powers.
    This was one of the first books I recorded in my studio at home back in 2011. I love it. I cannot recommend it enough. Maybe pour a whisky or have a mug of cocoa!
    Enough. Hope you like it!
    Read by Greg Wagland.

    You utterly delightful man. What a kind and thoughtful gift to give to all of us in our time of trouble. A balm to my sore and weary spirit, this was. Consider yourself wreathed in holly and tinsel and delighted listener gratitude. x

    I am because of we. It's taking everything I have to wait until after Thanksgiving, to listen as it does each year!! I listen to this, go out to the theater with loved ones & watch the play, & stay up way to late watching the vintage black & white movie adaptations-my perfect holiday season!! Thank you again and again

    Greg, I've only listened for a couple of minutes, but I can already tell that this is going to be brilliant. Alongside Liam Gerrard's iteration of Stave One, Dickens would be rightfully proud of both!!!

    Incredible! I blasted through all of your Holmes reading over the past weeks and was sad that I ran out of stories- then I thought that I should start reading Dickens next and found myself wishing there was a version read by you. I've never read the original book so I know this is going to be a great experience. Thank you so much!

      Great idea! I can only do one at a time. But maybe over the Christmas holidays it makes sense to do that one. I certainly think it's a great work and should (yes, should) be heard by everyone at least once! (And I moan about tyrants and tyranny! - hypocrite!!!). And quite nice to just leave it one when you get sick to death of Perry Como or Lady Gaga.
