Items related to Little Lord Fauntleroy.
Little Lord Fauntleroy (1886) had captured the fancy of the juvenile readers when it was serialized in St. Nicholas Magazine. At an early age, Cedric, a little boy in New York, learns that he is the heir to the vast wealth of an English lord. The story takes a sudden turn, however, with the entrance of an unknown rival. The democratic spirit of American society is contrasted against the aristocratic traditions of the English.

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.
