ABOUT THE BOOK AND AUTHOR

The Cricket on the Hearth: A Fairy Tale of Home was written by Charles Dickens (1812–1870) and was first published in 1845.

It is the third of five Christmas novellas by Charles Dickens. The five novellas are A Christmas Carol (1843), The Chimes (1844), The Cricket on the Hearth (1845), The Battle of Life (1846) and The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain (1848).

The Cricket on the Hearth follows John Peerybingle, who is a carrier (deliveryman), and his young wife Dot during three climatic days before their first wedding anniversary.

OpenDyslexic3 is not intended to cure dyslexia. Many people with dyslexia find this font is helpful but it does not help everyone. This edition has a glossy cover, cream paper interior, wide margins, generous white space, extra space between lines of text, left justified text with jagged right side, indented paragraphs and minimal use of all capital letters. Bold text is used instead of italics.
