Cedric Errol is seven years old. He lives with his mother in a little house in New York. They don't have much money, but mother and son are very good friends. Cedric is a kind, friendly little boy, and everybody likes him. His father was English, but he is now dead, and Cedric and his mother are alone in the world. But one day a lawyer arrives from England with some very surprising news about Cedric's grandfather.
A mouth-watering feast of stories cooked up by the highly acclaimed author, Nigel Gray, and sumptuously decorated by the celebrated artist, Cedric Baxter.
Published in 1886, 'Little Lord Fauntleroy', along with 'The Secret Garden', cemented Burnett's reputation as a leading children's author. Briefly put, the story relates to the life of Young Cedric Errol, who lives in New York with his mother. Cedric's English father dies and the young lad is summoned by his grandfather the Earl to the family castle. The grandfather seeks to transform Cedric in to a traditional lordling; alas, it is Little Lord Fauntleroy (Cedric) who ends up transforming the Earl and the hearts of his English relatives.
