Little Lord Fauntleroy | Frances Hodgson Burnett

so-so

It was heartwarming and cute. Little Lord Fauntleroy is an American boy who finds out that he‘s the heir to earldom in Britain. He‘s a kindhearted boy that everyone loves and is better because of him, including the old Earl himself. It was a bit sickly sweet at times but overall enjoyable. And exciting that I own the first edition!

I absolutely loved this story, and I'm sure I'll be re-reading it many times in the future. Such a sweet tale to remind people that genuine humility and love for others will often bring out the best in people (even when that best isn't always easy to see) 💜 Very thankful for this story!

Even if Christmas is already over, I dived in this cute story. I really loved the secret garden and I like this story pretty much until now. The little lord has already arrived in England and met his grandfather. 😊 @TheBookHippie hope to finish it in the next days. I ordered several 'children's books' yesterday and so I can join the February choice aswell 😍

The following article was my favorite
https://www.americanheritage.com/content/real-little-lord-fauntleroy

All in all this was a pure children's book read and a fairytale like story. I did not try to dissect it or analyse it, but rather just enjoyed lit bits of it at a time with my coffee in the morning. I hope you enjoyed it. How did you read this book???
Was it a good experience ? #ChildrensClassicRead2019

merelybookish This was not my favorite Burnett, by far. I found the endless praise for LLF's grace, beauty, kindness to be a bit much. But I liked Dick and Hobbes and the Earl. This fits the narrative theme (popular in late 19th-early 20th c books) of the power of childhood innocence to save adults. Overall, glad I read it Thanks.for organizing this. 5y

TheBookHippie @merelybookish it's now my favorite I hated The Little Princess 🤣 however I adored The Secret Garden I'm going to read next

The land of the blue flower

batsy I really enjoyed it, too! Like you mentioned I think with all of the depressing news we are hit with everyday this just felt like a soothing balm of goodness :) 5y

BiblioLitten So true. I read it just for the joy of it. My favourite will always be The Secret Garden though. But it was very interesting to know that the name Cedric became unpopular in North America. 5y

TheBookHippie @BiblioLitten I thought so too!!! The clothes craze just blows my mind!!! The joy of reading this was way more than I expected! @batsy it was goodness ❤️📖 5y

I really enjoyed Cedric (and I'm no Pollyanna book type 🤣🤣 seriously though) Cedric seemed so genuine and so fun to read. Maybe because the world is so ugly maybe because I'm weary of hate, but this boy was a balm for me. What were your thoughts on Cedric? Who was your favorite character ?? #ChildrensClassicRead2019

rubyslippersreads I think I might need to go back and reread this. All I remember is "Lean on me, Grandfather" (and that might be from seeing the old movie on TV as a kid. ?) Plus I ❤️ the cover on @batsy 's copy. ? 5y

TheBookHippie @rubyslippersreads I know I ordered @batsy cover now too!!! I did adore mine as well! 5y

batsy I expected Cedric to be annoying but I was charmed by him. Some of his comments, lol. The Earl and Dick were also cute. Maybe it was the mother who was a little bit too heavenly to take 😂 Thank you @rubyslippersreads it is a delightful cover, isn't it ❤️ 5y

See All 7 Comments

BiblioLitten My favourite was the Earl. 😊 But Cedric didn‘t come across as an annoying people pleasing goody boy. He was adorable in his obliviousness to the amusement he caused by his little speeches. 😄 5y

TheBookHippie @batsy I agree about the Mother !!! Ha! At first she reminded me of those women who carried smelling salts to be revived 🤣🤣🤣 5y

TheBookHippie @BiblioLitten I was grateful it wasn‘t annoying. She wrote this very well and apparently modeled after her child. That made it interesting for me. My son is an old soul, and a lot like this character ..the joke is he can‘t be mine and there was a switch at the hospital 😂🙌🏻🤷🏽‍♀️💙 5y

The Secret Garden and A Little Princess were two of my favourites growing up and I can't believe I've never read this one! I'm glad I finally did. It is kind of saccharine as @merelybookish mentioned, but after some grim crime novels, it was just the kind of sweetness I needed 😁 Cedric, our little lord, is quite the amusing character. I was waiting for him to irritate me, but he didn't 😂 A cute read. #ChildrensClassicRead2019 @TheBookHippie

merelybookish That Cedric, he's so beautiful and graceful! 😛 This was between a pick and a so-so for me. Reading it as a kind if fairy tale helped. I also became interested in how Burnett wrote the story, since it's uncommon to have such a paragon of perfection as the main character. The old Earl was my fave character by the end. But I do agree that cover is gorgeous! 🙂 5y

merelybookish Have you done any reading around the book? I keep meaning to. I know it was massively popular but then there was a backlash of sorts. It's why the name Cedric ceased to be a viable name in North America, except in the African-American community. 5y

batsy @merelybookish That's so true, I did read it as kind of a fantastical fairy tale. And I do think there's an element of that, based on the tiny bit of Burnett's bio given in this edition (British-born, living in the US; the book as a kind of idealistic/nostalgic pining for the British class system?) I haven't read anything about the book but wanted to find a Burnett bio; have you read any? (And the elder Earl was a great character, I agree!) 5y

merelybookish @batsy No, I don't know much about her except I think she wrote a lot of books and many not for children. But that's what she is remembered for now. I expect her bio would be interesting! 5y

readordierachel Love the photo 😊 5y

batsy @readordierachel Thanks 😘 5y

Centique I remember seeing a TV movie of this as a kid and being captivated. Must read the book! That cover looks stunning in the sun and against the flowers 😍 5y

batsy @Centique Thank you ❤️ I need to watch the movie, or maybe there's more than one? The book is so cute 😁 5y

BiblioLitten What a lovely cover! I read it online but I‘ll buy a copy for myself someday. Now I know I won‘t be disappointed if I reread The Secret Garden. I love how everything fell into place in the end. 😊💕 I agree with @merelybookish the Earl was my favourite! 5y

batsy @BiblioLitten I know what you mean, I've been nervous about rereading Garden & Princess! But I think if I sandwich it between my usual grim reads it'll be perfect 😁 5y

"Perhaps I got my spelling from them" ?

Maybe I went from grim Scandi-noir to bleak Swiss noir & in-between—the scented, beautiful, & depraved Genji who adopts the daughters of his dead lovers as a father figure & then, as those daughters grow to resemble their lovely mothers, he goes from Dad to "Damn, girl!"—maybe it's all of that, but I'm loving the change of pace in this sweet read for #ChildrensClassicRead2019 hosted by @TheBookHippie.

The book that launched a thousand pairs of knickerbockers.😁 Reading this for the children's classic readalong hosted by @TheBookHippie. A massive bestseller in its day (this is a poster for the 1888 Broadway production) about a little boy who #whenigrowup becomes an earl.
It's a bit on the saccharine side. 😬😜

merelybookish @LeahBergen I loved bith those books! This one is different... Strange to have such a flawless main character. 🙄 5y

merelybookish @Crazeedi I think it was her most popular book back in the day! But not nearly as charming as The Secret Garden or Little Princess! 5y

merelybookish @sarahbarnes @BarbaraBB That's so cool! Reading it now I have to say it's hard to imagine a kid liking it. But obviously it's been beloved for years! I'm curious. Do you remember why you loved it? 5y

merelybookish @Cinfhen I know!! 😂 5y

BarbaraBB To be honest I have no idea. Reading the title in your post makes me remember that I read it when I was real young (like 7 or 8 years) as it was part of a series of children‘s books which you could borrow in the school‘s library. It was my favorite of that series, but I can‘t tell you why... 👵🏻 5y

sarahbarnes I‘m trying to remember exactly why I liked it so much...I think it was the fairy tale quality of the story. I must‘ve been a little sappy at the age when I read it, and not the cynical adult I am now. 😁 I might have to go back and look at the story again! 5y

Having an entire month for each classic gives time to explore the book, art and music related to it, time it was written in and movie if such exists. I look forward to reading this way!
