Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
From the author of The Secret Garden, the timeless story of a child who betters the life of the English working class by beguiling a cynical nobleman.
A beloved children’s classic, Little Lord Fauntleroy tells the story of seven-year-old Cedric, an American boy living in near-poverty in nineteenth-century New York. In a startling change of fortune, Cedric learns he is an aristocrat and heir to a vast estate. Whisked away to England by his grandfather, the irritable earl of Dorincourt, the newly titled Lord Fauntleroy is schooled by the grumpy earl in the noble ways of the peerage. But it is the old earl who gets a lesson in the meaning of true nobility from young Cedric who, with his guileless optimism, reveals the transformative power of kindness.
From cherished author Francis Hodgson Burnett, Little Lord Fauntleroy has charmed generations of readers ever since its first publication in 1885.

“Such a sweet story! Read the majority of Little Lord Fauntleroy on a Saturday morning and it was a lovely start to my day. I’ve wanted to read it for years after reading The Secret Garden & A Little Princess and finally found a copy in a Savers, so that made it even sweeter.”
