Little Lord Fauntleroy
Overview & Summary
Cedric Errol, a kindhearted American boy being raised by his widowed mother in modest circumstances, learns he is actually the heir to a British earldom and is brought to England to live with his estranged, ill-tempered grandfather, the Earl. Cedric's innate goodness and total lack of guile gradually soften the old man's hardened heart. Frances Hodgson Burnett's 1886 novel was hugely popular in its era and helped popularize the fashion styles associated with its title character.
