Little Lord Fauntleroy By Frances Hodgson Burnett 55 pages Book report by Julius Eikmans 1A Type of story Little Lord Fauntleroy is a ﬁctitious story because it has not really happened. The characters This story has a few characters, they are: Cedric Errol Cedric Errol is a seven year old boy who lives in New York with only his mother, because his father died. Mr Errol Mr Errol is the father of Cedric and the youngest child of the Earl of Dorincourt. Mr. Errol died due to illness. Mrs Errol Mrs Errol is the mother of Cedric and the wife of Mr Errol. The Earl of Dorincourt The Earl of Dorincourt is the father of Mr Errol and Cedric’s grandfather The setting The story takes place in the 1880’s in New York where Cedric and his mother live, and in England where the Earl of Dourincourt lives. The place in important to the story because the characters travel to different places. The time isn’t really important to the story. Summary This story is about Cedric who lives in New York with his mother. The grandfather of Cedric is the Earl of Dorincourt. The Earl of Dorincourt lives in England and he hates Americans. When Cedric’s father moved to America to marry Mrs Errol, the Earl wrote a letter that Cedric’s father isn't his son anymore. He was very angry. The Earl had two more sons, Bevis and Maurice. They both died, had no children and had no wife, so Cedric is the heir. Cedric became the little Lord Fauntleroy now and the and the next Earl of Dorincourt after his grandfather dies. The Earl wants Cedric to live with him at the Dorincourt Castle, and he wants Mrs Errol to live in a Page !1 of !2 different house. When Cedric lives with the Earl, he misses his mother a lot, but he becomes friends with the Earl. At the end of the story the Earl lets Mrs Errol live with them, and they lived happily even after. The title The title of the book is Little Lord Fauntleroy. The Little Lord Fauntleroy is the main character of the book. Little Lord because Cedric is only seven years old. Opinion I did not like the book because it was a bit boring. There was a lot of information that you didn’t need to know for the story to understand it. I think the story was nice, but it also could be much shorter. What i also like are the illustrations in the book, because the illustrations give you a better view on the story. For example you could see how the Earl of Dorincourt looked like, or Cedric and his mother. I don't like the most parts of the book, but there were thing that were nice. So don't bother reading this book. It's a waste of time. Page !2 of !2.

If the name rings a bell, it’s because Burnett also wrote Little Lord Fauntleroy, A Little Princess, and The Secret Garden. Today Burnett is remembered for her children’s books, but she also wrote a lot of romantic novels for adults, one of which is A Lady of Quality. It features melodrama – so much melodrama. People just don’t make melodrama like they used to. The first thing that you need to know about this book is that it starts off with some really depressing shit.

Charles Urban and the Early Non-Fiction Film in Great Britain and America, 1897-1925
‘Something More than a Mere Picture Show’ Charles Urban and the Early Non-Fiction Film in Great Britain and America, 1897-1925 Submitted by Luke McKernan to Birkbeck College, University of London as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Film Studies, June 2003 ‘Something More than a Mere Picture Show’ 3. The Eighth Wonder of the World And what shall be said of ‘Kinemacolor’, the eighth wonder of the world? At the outset it was regarded with mistrust and mentioned with dubiousness – just as Daguerre’s first sun-pictures were; just as John Hollingshead’s first searchlight from the roof of the Gaiety Theatre was in ’69; aye, just as the Lords of the Admiralty of Queen Victoria’s girlhood once solemnly reported that steam power could never be of any service in her Majesty’s Navy … The history of its development would read like a page of romance, of seemingly insurmountable problems finally solved …1 While Urban had been building up his career as a producer of documentary and educational films, he had also been nurturing a strong interest in the possibility of natural colour cinematography,2 leading to what became the world’s first successful such system, Kinemacolor. The period 1908-1913, when Kinemacolor flourished, was to see Urban become a public figure of note. Kinemacolor lay at the core of everything Urban wanted to achieve. The Age of Colours In 1909, in an essay surveying the history and philosophy of colour printing, Charles T. Kock declared, ‘This is the age of colours; it is colour everywhere’.3 The inference was that it would be within the memory of the writer, or his audience, when it was not an age of colours.

Cultural Polarities in Frances Hodgson Burnett's
CULTURAL POLARITIES IN FRANCES HODGSON BURNETT’S CHILDREN’S BOOKS Andries Wessels Department of English University of Pretoria Pretoria, South Africa [email protected] ABSTRACT Frances Hodgson Burnett was the product of two cultures, British and American. An interest in the relations between these two cultures pervades her work and forms a significant thematic thread. This article investigates the articulation of such tensions in Burnett’s three most famous children’s books. The cultural polarities at issue in Little Lord Fauntleroy ([1886] 1899), the earliest of the three novels under consideration, are closest to the tensions in Burnett’s own life as a British American. In this novel, Burnett manages to reconcile the American egalitarianism of the protagonist’s early childhood values with an almost feudal concept of noblesse oblige, and it is suggested that this conceptualisation remains imperative also in her later works. In A little princess ([1905] 2008) and The secret garden ([1911] 1968), imperial India is set against England as the primary polarity. Burnett’s exposition is shown to conform to Edward Said’s notions of Orientalism, showing India to constitute an almost archetypal image of the Other, yet the novels are critical of imperialism as causing the distortion of university of south africa Mousaion Print ISSN 0027-2639 Volume 34 | Number 2 | 2016 © Unisa Press pp. 67–82 67 Wessels Cultural polarities in Frances Hodgson Burnett’s children’s books the imperialist as would later be defined by Orwell in Shooting an elephant and other essays (1950). It is suggested that in spite of an ostensible classlessness, the novels express a profoundly conservative and hierarchical vision.

Little Lord Fauntleroy
Picture here Little Lord Fauntleroy By Frances Hodgson Burnett Fauntleroy Lord Little In mid-1880s Brooklyn, New York, Cedric Errol lives with his Mother (never named, known only as Mrs Errol or “dearest”) in genteel poverty after his father, Captain Errol, dies. They receive a visit from Havisham, an English lawyer with a message from Cedric’s grandfather, Lord Dorincourt. Cedric is now Lord Fauntleroy and heir to the Earldom and a vast estate. The Earl wants Cedric to live with him and learn to be an English aristocrat. He offers Mrs Errol a house and income but refuses to meet or have anything to do with her. The crusty Earl is impressed by the appearance and intelligence of his young American grandson, and charmed by his innocent nature. He admits that Cedric, who has befriended and cared for the poor and needy on the Earl’s estate, will be a better Earl than he was. - A pretender to Cedric’s inheritance appears, but the claim is investigated and disproved with the assistance of Cedric’s loyal American friends. The Earl is reconciled to his Burnett Hodgson Frances Frances Hodgson Burnett Hodgson Frances son’s American widow. - The Earl had intended to teach his grandson how to be an aristocrat; however, Cedric inadvertently teaches his grandfather that an aristocrat should practice compassion and social justice towards persons who are dependent on him. The Earl becomes the kind and good man Cedric always innocently believed him to be. Cedric is reunited with his mother, who comes to live in the ancestral castle with them.

Level 5-8 Little Lord Fauntleroy Workbook Teacher’s Guide and Answer Key Teacher’s Guide A. Summary 1. Book Summary Cedric was a kind seven-year-old boy. He was born in America, but his father was from England. One day, he found out that he was going to England. His grandfather was an earl, and Cedric was going to replace him when he died. Cedric became known as Lord Fauntleroy. His grandfather sent him a lot of money, but Cedric used it to help people around him instead of spending it on himself. When he got to England, Cedric met his grandfather, whom nobody liked. But Cedric liked him, because he thought his grandfather was very kind for giving him a lot of money and things. Cedric shared the things he had with others around him. His grandfather was surprised by his generous behavior. The Earl grew to like Cedric and began to change. Then an American woman claimed that her son, Tom, and not Cedric was Lord Fauntleroy. Back in America, Cedric’s friends Mr. Hobbs and Dick read about this in the newspaper, and Dick said the woman was lying. Tom was really the son of Dick’s brother, Ben. Mr. Hobbs, Dick, and Ben went to England to stop the woman. Cedric was Lord Fauntleroy after all, and everything turned out well. Mr. Hobbs and Dick stayed in England. Dick went to school, and Mr. Hobbs opened a shop. The Earl bought some land in America for Ben and Tom to take care of. 2.
