The Cricket on the Hearth

Charles Dickens

This charming story of domesticity was considered by the public to be one of Dickens' best at the time of original publication. At the time it was the most popular of his Christmas stories, though obviously it hasn't endured anything like as well as "A Christmas Carol".
