Charles Laughton brings Charles Dickens’s Christmas story of Mr. Pickwick to life in this dramatic radio performance. The recording presents the first part of a two-part reading, centered on the genial Pickwick and the warmth, humor, and fellowship associated with Dickens’s holiday writing.

Laughton’s expressive voice gives the prose a theatrical presence, shaping its characters and scenes through changes in tone and rhythm. The result is a performance for listeners who enjoy classic literature heard aloud, with Dickens’s lively storytelling and Christmas atmosphere at its heart.
