Synopsis

‘And so this is little Lord Fauntleroy’

Ceddie is a regular little boy living in New York with his mother. That is until the day a tall, old gentleman arrives to inform him of some startling news. Ceddie, it turns out, is the child of a great, old English family. He must go to England to live with the Earl his grandfather and become a person he never knew he was: Little Lord Fauntleroy.

What the old gentleman neglects to mention is that Ceddie’s grandfather is one of the most grumpy, grouchy, gouty and feared old men in all England. Wish the new Little Lord Fauntleroy good luck...
