The Cricket on the Hearth

 


The Cricket on the Hearth: A Fairy Tale of Home by Charles Dickens 106 pp.

After listening to this brief audiobook I realized I had never read this story but had seen at least one filmed version. The story of the amusingly named Peerybingle family and their nanny, Tilly Slowboy is a tale of jealousy, greed, and mistaken identity that ultimately resolves into a happy ending because the cricket living on the Peerybingle's hearth has brought good fortune to them all.
