I didn’t read this version but goodreads won’t upload the one I read… illustrations by Everett Shinn taken from two books 1938 A Christmas Carol and 1941 Christmas in Dickens. Loved how the illustrations added to story telling. Reading this book reminded me of how I felt when I read The Greatest Gift ( book that It’s A Wonderful Life is based on). It reminded me of all the different versions of the story I’ve watched ( black and white, color from the 80’s, and my favorite the Disney cartoon version).

I know, I know. It’s April and I’ve just read A Christmas Carol. But I live in Alberta and it’s snowed yesterday so it didn’t seem completely crazy!

I listened to the special Audible production of this, which featured the voice credits of lots of well known actors. I enjoyed this audiobook - it was short and the different voices made it enjoyable to listen to. I only gave it three stars because I have experienced so many versions of A Christmas Carol that I’m a bit bored of the story but as far as retellings go, this is pretty good!

A beautifully illustrated edition, and the notes at the back about the time period and the language are really helpful for a modern audience.
