The Cricket on the Hearth and Other Stories by Charles Dickens

The Cricket on the Hearth and Other Christmas Stories (Dover Thrift Editions)The Cricket on the Hearth and Other Christmas Stories by Charles Dickens


My rating: 3 of 5 stars


The Cricket on the Hearth was a very entertaining story. The story of a little family, its members somewhat insecure in their relationship with each other, but a nice little family nonetheless. Yes, Dickens puts a mystery and a twist in the story that doesn't resolve itself until the end -- which I liked very much. The other stories were kind of dark and creepy -- guess Dickens was good at that, too, but I didn't like them as well. Anyway, it's always good to read a Dickens' tale at Christmastime.
