De las historias que he leído últimamente de Charles Dickens ésta es la que más me ha gustado. Incluso más que a Un cuento de Navidad. El grillo del hogar ha sido una lectura sencilla pero tan bonita, encantadora y poética. Con personajes adorables y muy bien caracterizados. Me he emocionado tanto leyéndola y hasta lloré de alegría con el final. Todos deberían leerla, en serio.
