A Christmas Carol – Stave 1

We have a special Christmas treat for all our listeners! Good friend of the Good Friends, Mike Perceval-Maxwell, has organised a week of readings of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol on our Discord server. He is joined by guest readers Dom Allen and Rina Haenze, along with Paul Fricker and Scott Dorward. Together, we have voiced Dickens’ classic festive tale, presented here in a form abridged by Dickens himself. The readings will continue every night at 10 PM GMT on our Discord server until Thursday the 17th of December. Please come and join us is you can! Don’t worry if you can’t, however — we shall release recordings of the subsequent episodes as they continue. So take a seat by the fire, pour yourself a glass of Smoking Bishop and try not to pay attention to those clanking chains in the cellar as our story begins… “Hark the Herald Angels Sing” performed by A-M Classical is used here under a Creative Commons Attribution Licence.
