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.

Our Mutual Friend is a satiric classic about the appeal and hazard of money that centres around the inheritance of a dust heap where the affluent put their waste. When the death of John Harmon, the dust heap's projected successor, is discovered in the Thames, riches unexpectedly shift hands, propelling "Noddy" Boffin, a low-born but benevolent clerk, to new heights as "the Golden Dustman." Our Mutual Friend, Charles Dickens's final complete novel, includes the main themes of his earlier works: the pretensions of the wealthy, the ingenuity of the ambitious poor, and the unfailing ability of wealth to corrupt those who seek it. This novel is one of Dickens' most complex-and satisfying-novels, with a colourful cast of characters and multiple subplots.
