Editor reviews

Donada Peters gives a charming and nuanced performance of the beloved novel Little Lord Fauntleroy by Frances Hodgson Burnett, the first-rate writer of children’s literature, who was born in England and moved to the United States at the age of 16. When impoverished little Cedric Errol’s father dies, his grandfather - the Earl of Dorincourt - asks him to leave New York for England. The earl intends for the boy to be groomed to become an English gentleman, but in the end it is Cedric who imparts important life lessons to his grandfather.

Summary

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".
