To have a cricket on your hearth brings great good luck
Or so goes the old folk belief
But it does not appear true for Caleb the old toymaker and his blind daughter Bertha
For the cricket on the hearth of their wonderful toy shop is a peppery-tempered, interfering sort of chap
Nevertheless the cricket is willing to help Bertha in the most important search of her life - the secret of how to find the truth
With the aid of the cricket and a magic toy harp, Bertha does at last find the secret - within her own heart
Enjoyable at any season and especially timely as a Christmas play
