Synopsis "Little Lord Fauntleroy: Original and Unabridged "

Little Lord Fauntleroy was English-American writer Frances Hodgson Burnett's first children's novel.In a shabby New York City side street in the mid-1880s, young Cedric Errol lives with his mother in genteel poverty after the death of his father. One day, they receive a message from Cedric's grandfather, the Earl of Dorincourt, an unruly millionaire who despises the United States and was very disappointed when his youngest son married an American woman. With the deaths of his father's elder brothers, Cedric has now inherited the title Lord Fauntleroy and is the heir to the earldom and a vast estate. Cedric's grandfather wants him to live in England and be educated as an English aristocrat. He offers his son's widow a house and guaranteed income, but he refuses to have anything to do with her.The Earl planned to teach his grandson how to be an aristocrat. Instead, Cedric teaches his grandfather that an aristocrat should practice compassion towards those dependent on him.

Frances H. Burnett (1849, Manchester, England - 1924, Plandome, United States) lost her father when she was just five years old. The family had to endure economic hardships and in 1865 moved to the United States. Eight years later Frances got married, but she had already managed to publish in some American magazines like Godey’s Lady’s Book, Godey’s, Peterson’s Ladies’ Magazine, Scribner’s Monthly, and Harper’s. She was 28 years old when That Lass O’ Lowrie’s (1877), her first novel, appeared. However, it was Little Lord Fauntleroy (1886) that contributed the most to her popularity during her lifetime. It was aimed, along with Sara Crewe (1888) and The Secret Garden (1911), at the young reader. The latter is considered her most valuable contribution.
