Let's be honest, the story is totally classic. I don't believe that there are people in West culture who don't know the story (from book, a movie or at least from other people's summary). First, I watched a movie. Then another movie. I am not even sure if and when I read it in the past. 
 Listening it now, I admit, it is really good. Moreover, it is the story which each should know and remember in own heart. Charles Dickens wrote a perfect, wonderful Christmas story for everyone, children and adults. 
 Nonetheless, I admit also, that this time, I wasn't gripped as I hoped. Perhaps I knew it too well. 
 The version I was listening was good and engaging. I loved Andy Minter as Scrooge (by the by, Andy Minter was also Mr. Woodhouse in one of the version of Emma, and he was splendid in there also).
