“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.”
About this work
A Christmas Carol is a public-domain work, here read aloud in a studio AI narration (a new AI performance, not the author’s recorded voice).
Who was Charles Dickens?
Charles Dickens (1812–1870) went from a boyhood stint labelling bottles in a blacking factory to being the most famous novelist alive, publishing in serial parts that had crowds waiting at the docks for the next instalment. His readings — he was a magnetic performer of his own work — filled halls on two continents and likely shortened his life.
