This story combined his usual sympathy for the poor with the notion that we must always strive to live in nobler ways. In 1845 came u003ciu003eThe Cricket on the Hearthu003c/iu003e, a novella that, in its time, surpassed even u003ciu003eA Christmas Carolu003c/iu003e in popularity for stage productions.
