Rating: 4/5
This is another one of Dickens’ Christmas novellas, and I’ve been very impressed by each one of them. I loved the device of the cricket and the way that the story was separated into chirps, and there’s some excellent character work to sit alongside the strong story line and masterful pacing. It’s definitely one to read.
