Little Lord Fauntleroy
ByPublisher Description
A beloved children's classic,
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,
has charmed generations of readers ever since its first publication in 1885.

“Such a beautiful, fun, engaging story! I have grown up reading some of Burnett’s other classics such as The Secret Garden, and The Little Princess and Little Lord Fauntleroy did not disappoint. The story follows a seven-year-old boy named Cedric who finds out he is next in line to be an earl. With a plethora of vivid and hilarious characters and a grumpy old earl for a mentor, little lord Fauntleroy changes the hearts and minds of those around him. Charming strangers and friends alike with his kindness, compassion, insight, and childishness he proves the awesome example of what an open mind and heart can do. A study on power and what human can and have done with it the author provides outlook on both sides with the child’s grandfather, the current earl, demonstrating the corruption power often provides, with what good can be done with the power given to you. With an engaging plot twist and a main character that is the exact juxtaposition of characters like Mary in The Secret Garden the audience learns the effects bravery, and compassion have on a community… or specifically a grumpy earl.”Change and growLikeableMemorableMinor characters stand outMultilayeredOriginalClever plottingClichédSatisfying conclusionSlow start, strong finishUnpredictableWell-structuredEvocative imageryMagicalOpulentPicturesqueRealisticSetting fits the storyVivid descriptionsBeautifully-writtenDescriptiveFlowery/lushStraightforwardTakes getting used toWhimsical tone
“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.”
