Opis

A seven-year-old boy is transported from the mean streets of nineteenth-century New York to the splendor of his grandfather s English manor in this beloved classic of children s literature. Young Cedric is astonished to find himself in possession of the title of Lord Fauntleroy and dismayed at his separation from his adored mother during the schooling for his new position. The Earl of Dorincourt, Cedric s crotchety grandfather, intends to instruct Cedric in the manners of the peerage; as it happens, the child teaches the man some valuable lessons about the true meaning of nobility.
Written by the author of A Little Princess and The Secret Garden, Little Lord Fauntleroy has enchanted generations of readers. Its conviction that nothing in the world is as strong as a kind heart has made the lovable lordling s name synonymous with his gentle sincerity and tenderness.
Compellingly readable. Horn Book."
