Sobre este áudio
What if Scrooge were a woman?
Following her adaptation of Great Expectations, best-selling novelist and award-winning audiobook narrator Alison Larkin changes the gender of Scrooge in this ground-breaking new recording of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens.
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, in this version, the characters behave as if it were quite normal for a girl to learn to read and write, fall in love with a woman, and have the kind of life and 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?
Following the recording, exclusively for Audible, Larkin continues this exciting experiment along similar lines and reads The Night Before Christmas by Clement Clarke Moore with only one change. What? You guessed it. St. Nick is a woman.
"Alison Larkin is brilliant." (The Times)

A reimagining of the classic Christmas story, adapted by narrator Alison Larkin, treats the listener to Dickens's holiday tale - with one change. In this version, the iconic Ebenezer Scrooge is a woman. Larkin's performance skills are superb. She provides an engaging romp through 19th-century London at Christmas. Her spirited style infuses the production with flair and personality, breathing life into Scrooge and all she encounters, ghosts included. Furthering the listening experience is the music throughout. Both the instrumental rendition of "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen" bookending the audiobook and Larkin's own singing between ensure that one cannot help but feel the holiday spirit.
