In a shabby New York City side street in the mid-1880s, Young Cedric Errol lives with his mother in poverty in New York City. One day, they are visited by an English lawyer with a message from young Cedric's grandfather, the Earl of Dorincourt, an unruly millionaire who despises the United States and was very disappointed when his youngest son married an American woman. With the deaths of his father's elder brothers, Cedric has now inherited the title Lord Fauntleroy and is the heir to the earldom and a vast estate. He offers his son's widow a house and guaranteed income, but he refuses to have anything to do with her, even after she declines his money. The Earl planned to teach his grandson how to be an aristocrat. Instead, Cedric teaches his grandfather that an aristocrat should practice compassion towards those dependent on him.

First published serially in “St. Nicholas Magazine” from 1885 to 1886, “Little Lord Fauntleroy” was the first children’s book by the acclaimed English-American author Francis Hodgson Burnett, who would go on to write “A Little Princess” and “The Secret Garden”. “Little Lord Fauntleroy” is the story of seven-year-old Cedric Errol, who is living in poverty with his mother in New York after the death of his father, Captain Cedric Errol. Little Cedric suddenly inherits the title of “Lord Fauntleroy” and becomes the heir of his grouchy and very rich grandfather after the death of his father’s older brothers. Cedric’s grandfather never approved of his son marrying an American and had disinherited him. He demands that Cedric come alone to England so that he may transform Cedric in anticipation of his future role as the lord of the manor. However, it is Cedric who transforms his grandfather with his kind-heartedness, generosity, and innocent belief in the goodness of others. Cedric softens his grandfather’s hard heart and helps to finally mend the rift between his mother and his grandfather. This children’s classic was immensely popular after its publication and remains a charming and heart-warming tale of kindness and forgiveness to this day.

"The best version of the Cinderella story in modern idiom that exists," is how Marghanita Laski describes Frances Hodgson Burnett's Little Lord Fauntleroy. It is the charming story of a seven-year-old American boy, Ceddie Errol, who lives on the edge of poverty in New York. One day he is visited by a gruff lawyer at the tiny house he shares with his widowed mother, and his life is never to be the same: waiting in England is Dorincourt Castle, where Ceddie is to reside as the sole living heir to the irascible, proud, and selfish Earl of Dorincourt. It will be up to this virtuous boy to capture and warm the Earl's heart and transform him into a doting grandfather and responsible landlord.This stirring classic is a great family listen.
