THE CRICKET ON THE HEARTH. A FAIRY TALE OF HOME: 1846 edition, illustrated

1846 - 11th edition, illustrated. The Cricket on the Hearth: A Fairy Tale of Home is a novella by Charles Dickens in 20 December 1845. 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 (1843) and The Chimes (1844), and followed by The Battle of Life (1846) and The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain (1848).
