Little Lord Fauntleroy
Little Lord Fauntleroy
Little Lord Fauntleroy (1885; 1886) by Frances Hodgson Burnett is a beloved children's novel that made a huge impact on the 19th century public; shaping everything from boys' clothing fashions to copyright law. Cedric Errol is a generous; kind; and exemplary middle-class American boy who is suddenly found to be the heir of the Earl of Dorincourt. Saying loving goodbyes to his working-class friends; Cedric goes to England together with his mother to embrace his new fortune. His grandfather; the old earl; is a bitter old man ridden with gout and a foul temper; trusting no one. However the angelic boy elicits a profound transformation in the grandfather; which not only benefits the castle household but the whole populace of the earldom. If only the old man's heart would soften toward Cedric's estranged mother; the family would be healed at last. And when another potential heir to the earldom makes a claim; it seems that everything is lost.... But all things are possible through a child's innocent trust; true friendship; and unconditional love.
