About this eBook

Author Burnett, Frances Hodgson, 1849-1924
Title Little Lord Fauntleroy
Credits Produced by Charles Keller and David Widger
Summary "Little Lord Fauntleroy" by Frances Hodgson Burnett is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story revolves around a young boy named Cedric Errol, affectionately nicknamed Ceddie, who lives a simple and loving life in New York City with his mother. Following a surprising revelation about his noble heritage, he learns that he is the heir to an English earldom and must travel to England, where he will meet his stern grandfather, the Earl of Dorincourt. The narrative explores themes of innocence, kindness, and the contrasting worlds of American simplicity and British aristocracy. The opening of the book introduces Cedric, a bright and gentle young boy who has only known life without his father, and his devoted mother, who is still grieving his loss. As Cedric navigates his understanding of love and loss, his world is upended when a lawyer arrives with news that he is to inherit a title and wealth due to the deaths of his relatives. Confused yet curious, Cedric must prepare for a journey that takes him from his close-knit, everyday life into an unfamiliar world of nobility and responsibility. His innocent outlook and charming personality are on full display as he expresses concern for those less fortunate and strives to make those around him happy, setting the stage for a tale of transformation and the challenges of growing up in the shadow of privilege.
