The Cricket on the Hearth

" To have a Cricket on the Hearth, is the luckiest thing in all the world! “. Or is it? On the hearth in the home of the Peerybingle family sits a little cricket who acts as their protector. When everything is good, it chirps. When it is not, it keeps quiet. But there is more to cricket than meets the eye. A Holiday classic, this popular story is the third of Dicken' s five Christmas themed stories, and is a heartwarming tale full of vivid descriptions. For fans of Valentine Davies, Hans Christian Andersen and all things Christmas.
