The Cricket of Hearth is yet another Christmas novel of Charles Dickens which was published in 1845 by Bradbury and Evans. This novel has had many criticisms yet, was chosen for many plays across Britain and America, and was also the basics for at least two operas. This novel relates to a Cricket which constantly chirps sitting on a hearth in the garden and acts as a guardian angel to a family. The story is about a small family. The husband, John Peerybingle who is a carrier, and his wife Dot who is very young. They have a son and their nanny lives with them.
