About this listen

"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.

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.

A Real Boy Becomes a Lord

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This is a children's story that is a fun listen. My older children (teens) thought it a little predictable and too 'perfect', but that didn't stop them from listening to it when it was on in the room. We did enjoy it. It was neat to see how his Mother put her son's best interests ahead of her own. She was exemplary. So often we say what we think without restraint instead of choosing to do what is right. It is a bit of a morality tale, but there is enough of a good story to make it fun to listen to.

What other book might you compare Little Lord Fauntleroy to and why?

THis story reminds me a bit of Mark Twain's book, 'The Prince and the Pauper'. Both have boys who have to live real lives to learn how to be a good ruler.

Any additional comments?

I would listen to this again.
