Little Lord Fauntleroy
by Frances Hodgson Burnett
Young Cedric Errol lives in poverty in New York with his mother. When his father, deprived of his inheritance for marrying an American woman, dies, Cedric is summoned to his grandfather's British property. While the crocheted old count planned to turn the boy into a docile, traditional lord, it was Little Lord Fauntleroy who made the transformation. With his kindness and innocence, he wins the hearts of his English relatives, who welcome his mother with open arms, and the countess teaches some valuable lessons about the true meaning of nobility. This classic tale embodies the author's belief that nothing in the world is as strong as a good heart.
