| Publisher Description: 1926. Burnett, began as a novelist, but she is now best remembered for her children's books including The Secret Garden and Sara Crewe (which was later rewritten to become The Little Princess). Her romance novels were also quite popular during her lifetime. In the story of Little Lord Fauntleroy seven-year-old Cedric Errol, the son of an American woman and a disinherited English Earl, unexpectedly inherits the title of Lord Fauntleroy when all of the the other heirs die. His grandfather, the Earl of Dorincourt-who has always disliked Cedric's mother-makes arrangements for Cedric to come and live with him at the family estate, while Cedric's mother will be given a nearby but separate home. Cedric's mother agrees to this arrangement for the boy's sake, and he is forced to live with his cranky and selfish grandfather. Can Cedric's kind and generous nature, inherited from his mother, change the Earl's outlook on life? See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing. |
