Little Lord Fauntleroy (Audio)

One very special boy weaves some magic in Frances Hodgson Burnett’s sentimental favorite. When young Cedric Errol learns that he is actually a British lord and heir to an estate, his life is transformed. He leaves Boston for Dorincourt Castle to live with his uncle, the Earl - a tyrant who’s loathed by one and all. Will Cedric succeed in melting his cold, cruel uncle’s heart?

Cedric Errol is a poor boy living in New York City during the late 1800's. Devoted to his American mother, who has never been recognized by her aristocratic British father-in-law, Cedric Fauntleroy is summoned to England to assume the mantle of future Lord of the manor.

It was a runaway hit for the magazine and was separately published in 1886. The book was a commercial success for its author.
