{"product_id":"the-cricket-on-the-hearth-charles-dickens-9789358042443","title":"The Cricket on the Hearth","description":"Charles Dickens formalised his Christmas views in a series of little novels, the first of which was the renowned A Christmas Carol. Following that were four more: The Chimes, The Cricket on the Hearth, The Battle of Life, and The Haunted Man. The five are now referred to as the Christmas Books. The title creature serves as a sort of compass for life at John Peerybingle's and his considerably younger wife Dot's house. When things are going well, the cricket on the hearth chirps; when things are bad, it is silent. Tackleton, a jealous old man, poisons John's mind concerning Dot, but the cricket restores John's trust through its magical abilities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Dickens\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9358042443\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789358042443\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pharos Books Private Limited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/06\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.23d","brand":"Charles Dickens","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48996362191103,"sku":"9789358042443","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-cricket-on-the-hearth-charles-dickens-9789358042443","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
