Alison Larkin Presents A Christmas Carol
Thanks to Michele Cobb, I am giving away two digital audiobook copies of Alison Larkin Presents ‘A Christmas Carol‘.
Description Alison Larkin Presents A Christmas Carol
Following her recent adaptation of Great Expectations, bestselling novelist and award-winning audiobook narrator Alison Larkin changes the gender of Scrooge in this exciting new recording of A Christmas Carol. It’s the same beloved Christmas story – only one thing has changed. In this version, Scrooge is a woman.
Everything else, though, is pure Dickens. So, the characters around Scrooge behave as if it were quite normal for a woman to learn to read and write, fall in love with and reject a woman and have the kind of career only men could dream of in 1843. It’s an irresistible question. If gender had been simply irrelevant in the 19th century where would we all be now?

I’ve enjoyed some of Dickens’s “big books,” but this has to be his most beloved work! I’ll have to look up narrator Alison Larkin’s novel as well!
I’ve never considered a gender swap on “A Christmas Carol”– this should be interesting!
Sounds like a good audio book.
Alison Larkin is one of my absolute favorite audiobook narrators – she brings the classics to life in totally accessible ways. I LOVED her own novel The English American and her Jane Austen narrations and I just listened to her narration Great Expectations in which Pip is a woman – her voice and her characterizations are brilliant and she has depth and authenticity too. Now turning Scrooge into a woman? Brilliant! Can’t wait Tracy Frye
Interesting cover
I agree that the gender swap for Scrooge sounds fascinating.
