The collection features five small books by Dickens, beginning with the iconic "Christmas Carol," which explores themes of redemption and compassion. Following this are "The Chimes," "The Cricket on the Hearth," "The Battle of Life," and "The Haunted Man," collectively known as the "Christmas Books." While "Christmas Carol" remains the most celebrated, "The Cricket on the Hearth" enjoys significant popularity, particularly in America, thanks to Joseph Jefferson's portrayal of Caleb Plummer.
