LITTLE LORD FAUNTLEROY (non illustrated)
Contents:
I read it aloud with my children, and we all enjoyed it immensely. My 10 year old son said it was his favorite book, and we were all anxious to find out how it ended, and couldn't stop reading. I love sharing stories with my children that teach the value of virtue and goodness, with an added benefit of history and culture. This book is compelling and sweet and funny and interesting, with fun and interesting characters who inspire goodness. It's a new family favorite. Not one of her better books. I read from beginning to end waiting for the action to start but it never did.
Feels like a book that is always on the verge of launching into an extraordinary story but never does. The duke-grandfather character is hard to believe.
Illustrated with photographs from the film. The mother and little Lord Fauntleroy are described as kind but you never really get to know them as real people because real people are not perfectly flawless.

I found the grandfather to be the most likeable and easy to relate to. He seems to be the most human. One person found this helpful 2 people found this helpful. We first "read" this as an audio book a few months ago and loved it so so very much for the classic it is, one of the sweetest books ever written. I will not review the book here other than to say if you are looking for the sweetest, most delightful ever family read-aloud this might be it. I researched many of the versions available and finally settled on this copy with the original illustrations so that my children could see the "original" illustrator's ideas of what Ceddy, dearest and his grandfather, the great dog and the horses might look like.
I am glad I did - the color plates there seem to be about ten and the pen and ink illustrations many are just lovely and I like that they not how a modern illustrator might depict them. That being said, it was published in and I'm not quite sure at this point I would quite hand it over to my 5 and 7 year old without mommy supervision.

Like many older books, I will note that the font is nice and large enough for children and the spacing is nice and spread out for children to easily read. It is a classic older font style.

LITTLE LORD FAUNTLEROY
Every mother apparently wanted their boy to be as selfless and precocious as the title character, so they dressed the innocent boy in the absurd outfit of the book - the velvet, lace collared affair that scarred a generation. But that misses Burnett's point. She creates a world where a child of American sensibilities - raising all boats as his own tide increases - counters the old British guard which, at the time, was the lord had it all, the villagers had nothing. And while Cedric is a little too perfect, the message and the characterization of sudden wealth leading to actual kindness is refreshing.
