The Cricket on the Hearth: A Fairy Tale of Home (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781505422160)

Dickens began writing the book around 17 October 1845 and finished it by 1 December. Like all of Dickens's Christmas books, it was published in book form, not as a serial. Dickens described the novel as "quiet and domestic innocent and pretty." It is subdivided into chapters called "Chirps", similar to the "Quarters" of The Chimes or the "Staves" of A Christmas Carol. It is the third of Dickens's five Christmas books, preceded by A Christmas Carol and The Chimes, and followed by The Battle of Life and The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain
