Little Lord Fauntleroy is Frances Hodgson Burnett's classic children's novel of kindness, inheritance, class, and character. Young Cedric Errol, raised in modest circumstances in New York, discovers that he is heir to an English earldom and is brought to England to live with his stern grandfather, the Earl of Dorincourt. Cedric's innocence, generosity, and moral confidence gradually transform the household around him, challenging inherited pride and revealing the human obligations that lie beneath rank and privilege.
First published in the 1880s, Little Lord Fauntleroy became one of the most widely read children's books of its period and helped establish Burnett as a major figure in classic juvenile fiction. The novel's sentimental structure is unmistakably Victorian, but its enduring appeal lies in its belief that gentleness, courage, and sympathy can alter even the hardest hearts. For readers of classic children's literature, Victorian fiction, family stories, orphan and inheritance narratives, and the work of the author of A Little Princess and The Secret Garden, this remains one of Burnett's essential books.
