Little Lord Fauntleroy

By: Frances Hodgson Burnett

Narrated by: Johanna Ward

"The best version of the Cinderella story in modern idiom that exists" is how Marghanita Laski describes Frances Hodgson Burnett's Little Lord Fauntleroy. It is the charming story of a seven-year-old American boy, Ceddie Errol, who lives on the edge of poverty in New York.

One day he is visited by a gruff lawyer at the tiny house he shares with his widowed mother, and his life is never to be the same: for waiting in England is Dorincourt Castle, where Ceddie is to reside as the sole living heir to the irascible, proud, and selfish Earl of Dorincourt. It will be up to this virtuous boy to capture and warm the Earl's heart and transform him into a doting grandfather and responsible landlord.

Another Good Book by Frances Hodgson Burnett

Another good book by Frances Hodgson Burnett. This is my second book of Frances and it's a wonderful childrens' book. Am sure it will please even grownups just like children. Characters development and portrayal was so very well done. Narration was beautiful both by the author and Johanna Ward for audible. Definitely enjoyable and worth listening to.

spellbinding

This was so inspiring. It made me wish to bestow a fortune on the peasants all around us in modern life.

good

pretty good but a little hard to get volume right as sometimes she reads loudly and sometimes quietly.

I like the mother and Cedrick and his dad this is a really good book

Great book!

In the beginning of the book it's a little boring, but after the first chapter or two, this book gets very interesting! I hope you found this review helpful.
