Little Lord Fauntleroy Audiobook

" Sweet, innocent, precious and timeless. Loved it! "

" going through a children's classic's phase. Cedric is too idealistic a child, and unrealistically perfect "

" This was an interesting book, more readable than I'd expected. Of course the descriptions of the little boy were too perfect to be believable but I did find the character likeable rather than annoying. I'd seen it referenced in another book that was set in the early 1900s and wanted to understand the reference. "

" This is not a full novel like some of the author's other works, but it is still overall an enjoyable book about a little boy who finds out about a family he never knew he had (a rich grandpa) The writing style is a bit dated, so people who are more used to contemporary literature may be thrown off a bit, but it's still a cute book. If you're familiar with Ms. Burnett's writing style, this should be nothing new for you. "

" This was an adorable read, but somehow it didn't grip me as much as The Secret Garden did. Maybe it's just me, but Cedric is a little too flawless and the story is all too smooth with no real conflict except for the last quarter of the book. Apart from that, it's a lovely children's story that is worth the read. "

" Little Lord Fauntleroy is not in the same class with A Secret Garden and A Little Princess due to a lack of character development in the main protagonist. Little Lord Fauntleroy the boy is portrayed as so very naive that he comes across as a bit vapid and dull, in spite of being repeatedly described as intelligent, bright and mature and the like. The story itself is truly about the old man, his grandfather, and how this idiot-genius of a boy changes his relation without being remotely changed himself, and that story is childish but fun. "

" One of my favorite children's classics (but good for adults too!). It helps remind me the importance of having a positive nature. "

" A charming little children's story, with a happy ending. Written by a relative on my father's side of the family. "

" Read this as an adult, and I was surprised how much I liked it. "

" A sweet read. Good for youth. "

" I really enjoyed this book. The reviews are fairly mixed so I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was a quick read and since I don't remember reading Secret Garden, maybe it was better. Nothing to freshly compare it to. I'll have to read it soon and see which I like more. "

" What a great book, would love to read this to my future kids. "

" This book was predictable, yet an enjoyable easy read. "

" Sappy, but sap from my childhood is good sap! "

" I loved this book. All the characters were well written and I found myself caring about what happened to them. The plot is simple. The characters are engrossing. I certainly think this is one I will read again! "

" Inscription 1917, B&W frontispiece from 1914 film. "

" I had read to my daughter both Secret Garden and Little Princess. They were great stories. So I thought I ouls read this one to my son. He loved it and so did I what a great story. "

" The Main character in this book is way too prissy and has no flaws, he is so perfet he's fake. "

" Such a cute book I loved it! "

" Great children's read. I just finished reading to my 10 year old. It has just the right amount of adventure, royalty, and a small bit of mystery. Also read Secret Garden by same author. "

" Another Burnett that touched my childish heart. Of course it is not about a little girl, so it cannot hold the same place as Secret Garden or Little Princess, but it is there nonetheless. "

" Cute book, but could have been developed a little better. I really doubt there ever was a child this perfect! "

" One of my favorite books to read to my boys. "

" I've never understood why this moralistic book was such a hit in the author's lifetime....perhaps it had a message for the Edwardians which doesn't reverberate for us. "

" there are so many things that could be said, i suppose, in critique of this sweet story. i will speak none of them. charming, uplifting, and altogether wonderful! "

" Darling, predictable, happy book. I love this author for "pick-me-up" reading. "

" One of my all-time favorite books. Such a sweet story about goodness. A lovely book that I have read many times. "

" The story is okay so far. Having read A Little Princess and The Secret Garden, I'm quite familiar with Burnett's way of writing so, yeah, I'm having fun reading. The little lord is adorable... XD "

" This is a sweet book, and it certainly gives Paul something to aspire to. How fun to find out you're a Lord and will some day be an Earl. My only complaint is that Little Lord Fauntleroy really is too good to be true. "

" I love Frances Hodgson Burnett's books. "

" One of my favourit books when I was younger. "

" A GREAT book, everyone should read it. It shows how everything can change just because of one pure and gentle heart. All the same, there's Pollyanna that shows the same thing. "

" I read this book several times as a child, and even now as an adult, I find myself charmed by little Cedric and how he manages to win over the heart of his grandfather. It's definitely a type of literature that you won't be able to find these days. "

" I read this myself and then listened to it with the kids. I loved the message of the power of a mother's influence. I liked the goodness in the book and the message that we are happier as we serve and miserable as we are selfish. We all enjoyed it very much. "

" This is one of those I loved as a child, but now I am finding that I can rather too easily put it down. "

" It was better than I thought it would be. Very precious. I downloaded it for free on my Kindle. "

" Great little book. Makes you want to be a better person. The kind of book that I need to read frequently. :) "

" Loved this heartwarming tale. Not sure why I haven't read it sooner. I love the little princess and this is the male version. Guess I needed to get it free on my ipad first. "

" Such a sweet and adorable book! It was quite similar to her other books, but I still loved it! "

" Pure syrupy indulgence. Like drinking a potful of saccharine during a Thomas Kinkade exhibition. "

" omigosh..... This book is sooooo good. "

" Finally got around to reading this. Didn't realize it was by the same author as Secret Garden and Little Princess. A male version of Pollyanna perhaps. Too good to be true. But a sweet story all the same. Full of qualities we'd like to see in an Earl-to-be. A quick, easy read too. "
