概要

 In this heartwarming tale, John Peerybingle, a humble carrier, shares his life with his much younger wife Dot, their baby, their quirky nanny Tilly Slowboy, and a mysterious lodger. A chirping cricket on the hearth becomes a guardian angel to the family, even taking on human-like qualities to reassure John that his fears about Dot’s fidelity are unfounded. Their lives intertwine with Caleb Plummer, a struggling toymaker who works for the miserly Mr. Tackleton. Calebs blind daughter, Bertha, and his son Edward, who vanished after traveling to South America, cast long shadows over their lives. As Tackleton prepares to marry May, Edward’s sweetheart, the story unfolds with unexpected revelations. In a twist of fate, the lodger is revealed to be Edward himself. As Christmas approaches, Tackleton’s heart softens, reminiscent of Ebeneezer Scrooge, allowing true love to triumph. The ending leaves readers with a hint of hope, suggesting Bertha may regain her sight.Copyright Family and Culture 社会科学
