The Cricket on the Hearth: A Fairy Tale of Home (more commonly known as The Cricket on the Hearth) is a novella that was also one of Dickens’ Christmas books.

Published in instalments between 1846 and 1848, Dealings with the Firm of Dombey and Son: Wholesale, Retail and for Exportation (more commonly known as Dombey and Son) follows the fortunes of a shipping firm owner who is frustrated at the lack of a son to inherit his business.
