Summary
'The Cricket on the Hearth ' is a Christmas novella by Charles Dickens. John Peerybingle, a carrier, lives with his young wife Dot, their baby boy and their nanny Tilly Slowboy. A cricket chirps on the hearth and acts as a guardian angel to the family. One day a mysterious elderly stranger comes to visit and stays at Peerybingle's house for a few days.

The miser Tackleton is now on the eve of marrying Edward's sweetheart, May, but she doesn't have feelings for Tackleton...
