The New York Public Library (NYPL) has organized an event called “Charles Dickens & A Christmas Carol with Neil Gaiman and Molly Oldfield.” The event will take place on Saturday, December 15th inside the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building.
The American Gods novelist (pictured) will perform a reading of the classic story starring Ebenezer Scrooge, Bob Cratchit, and Tiny Tim. According to the announcement, “Gaiman will read the classic tale as the great author intended, following edits and prompts Dickens wrote in his own hand for his unique readings 150 years ago.”
Oldfield, a researcher, will discuss interesting items housed in museums and libraries throughout the world. She will pay special focus to pieces owned by Dickens within the NYPL collection. Follow this link to RSVP for free tickets.
