Though I’ve read many adaptions of this story (among others a Disney version with Scrooge and Donald Duck in the main roles – obviously ;) ) I’d never actually read the original, so in December I felt it was time. It’s pretty good, but I wasn’t as impressed by it, as I’d expected to be. Perhaps this is because I listened to it as an audiobook instead of reading it myself. It’s worth a read, but won’t make it to my list of favourites.
