Publisher Description

Young Cedric Errol lives in poverty in New York with his mother. When his father, who was disinherited for marrying an American, dies, Cedric is summoned to his grandfather's English estate. While the crotchety old Earl planned to transform the boy into a docile, traditional lording, it is Little Lord Fauntleroy who does the converting. Through his goodness and innocence, he wins the hearts of his English relatives who welcome his mother with open arms, and he teaches the Earl some valuable lessons about the true meaning of nobility.

This classic tale embodies the author's belief that Nothing in the world is so strong as a kind heart.

"When I was a child I loved Frances Hodgson Burnettand read The Little Princess over and over again. When I got my Kindle at the start of 2012 it was the first book I downloaded and I enjoyed it as much as ever. However I'd never read Little Lord Fauntleroy and decided to make that an early Kindle read too. I wasn't disappointed: so refreshingly kind yet without sentimentality. I thought it was a beautiful story and its exploration of the relations between classes and between Britain and America was a fascinating insight into some of the attitudes of the day. I think any sensitive child would love this story and it works well for adults too."

    " I have to say Little Lord Fontleroy was more of a lackadaisical stroll through the park, which was not was I expected. I liked the characters and the moral, but the actual writing was less than I expected from the author of my favorite book, The Secret Garden. But! Now I have read it and I really do like the storyline. "

    " 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. "

    " unbelievably unrealistic portrait of a child, makes me wonder if Ms. Burnett had ever spent any real time with one, however, as enjoyable for this reason as any other. "

    " It's absurd to love a book about a perfectly good boy, but this one is lovely each time I read it! This particular edition has several typos, though, and that is rather off-putting. The book still remains a favourite despite it all! "

    " An enjoyable book with beautifully written comparisons between the English aristocrasy and American working classes. The surface story is the classic tale of rags to riches while the family reconcilation resulting from the boy's presence adds depth to the story. "

    " 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. "

    " 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. "
