"Cedric did not know that he looked like a young lord; he did not know what a lord was. His greatest friend was the groceryman at the corner-the cross groceryman, who was never cross to him. His name was Mr. Hobbs, and Cedric admired and respected him very much. ... Cedric was fond of the milkman and the baker and the apple-woman, but he liked Mr. Hobbs best of all..." Cedric's life in the New York city of the late 19th century was one of simple boyhood pleasures: exploring his neighborhood, playing in the street with friends, and spending happy hours with Dearest, his mother and boon companion. But Cedric's life was about to change in an instant! "The tall old gentleman rose from his chair and looked at Cedric with his sharp eyes. He rubbed his thin chin with his bony hand as he looked. "He seemed not at all displeased. "And so," he said at last, slowly,-"and so this is little Lord Fauntleroy." This enchanting story of love, generosity, and the human spirit will delight readers of all ages!
