From the beginning “Little Lord Fauntleroy” was absolutely certain to become one of the few real classics in the literature for children. The author has presented a picture of child-life such as we have never had before; she has not only taken a subject quite new, but she has written with such exquisite delicacy and sweetness the story of the little American boy's career that even were the situations old instead of new the story would be a notable one. “Little Lord Fauntleroy”, though a book for children, is certainly not a "juvenile" in the common use of the word, paradoxical as the statement may seem. The hero is a manly little fellow, a child, but with all the elements of a man. Mrs. Burnett has made Lord Fauntleroy a thoughtful boy, and she is right in believing that the stories children like best are those best worth thinking about when they are being read.

From the Back Cover:
Little Lord Fauntleroy is the engaging, amusing, and moving story of a boy living on the edge of poverty in New York, who suddenly learns that he is the heir to an English lord with vast lands and wealth. Travelling to his grandfather's castle, Cedric shows his trusting and democratic nature in his dealings with lawyers and clergymen, servants and farmers, but it is his relationship with his proud and unfeeling grandfather which lies at the heart of the novel, and developments there take an unexpected turn when the appearance of an unforeseen rival claimant to the title brings the book to a dramatic climax. First published in 1886, the story soon became a huge success throughout Europe and America, and achieved unjust notoriety when its hero's costume of black velvet with lace collar created a fashion for Little Lord Fauntleroy suits which were foisted upon reluctant children. Despite this reaction, however, the warmth and humour of Frances Hodgson Burnett's story have ensured its survival as a children's classic and an enduring phenomenon of popular culture. The text is that of the first English edition with significant variations from the first serialization of the story and the first American edition recorded in the notes.
