Little Lord Fauntleroy
Little Lord Fauntleroy, published in 1886, was Frances Hodgson Burnett's first great success and fixed an image of childhood, velvet suit and lace collar included. Cedric Errol, a seven-year-old living modestly in New York with his widowed American mother, learns that his father's death has made him heir to the Earl of Dorincourt, a hard old man who despised his son's marriage and has sent for the boy on condition that the mother stay out of his sight. Cedric's unforced goodness, his loyalty to his friends the grocer Mr. Hobbs and the bootblack Dick, and his assumption that his grandfather is as kind as himself slowly change the earl, until a false claimant tests the new order.
