Read by LibriVox Volunteers





Little Lord Fauntleroy is a sentimental children's novel by American (English-born) author Frances Hodgson Burnett, serialized in St. Nicholas Magazine in 1885. It was a runaway hit for the magazine and was separately published in 1886. The book was a commercial success for its author, and its illustrations by Reginal Birch set fashion trends. Little Lord Fauntleroy also set a precedent in copyright law in 1888 when its author won a lawsuit over the rights to theatrical adaptations of the work. (Summary from Wikipedia) (6 hr 25 min)

Kara schalenberg (i hope that that is how her name is spelled) is by far my most favorite reader. The book in itself is just beautifully written and brought back beautiful childhood memories. Thank you so much, you all did a wonderful job!

Fauntleroy Tale Still Appeals Today!

This book still touches you. Tho the sentimental writing style of the author is excessive in our Y2K world, I still am happy when the fraud against Fauntleroy (and his Earl grandfather) is exposed. It's a minor classic, and still deserves a read. Note that even Japanese anime' artists have done a version (unseen by me) of this timeless story. A young American Brooklyn boy is the last living descendant of the hostile old British Earl of Dorincourt. The Earl is prepared to despise this boy (as he does all Americans) but is first impressed by this gifted and handsome young child, and then...is won back to the human race by the unselfish love the child gives to him...and to others. The appeal (I think) is perhaps a young but morally strong child coming into such incredible wealth and power,
Heartwarming and enjoyable





Snagliph
This story about an endearing lad as he discovers his aristocratic heritage is light and pleasant throughout. Most of the readers do a lovely job of telling the tale, bringing the characters to life as they read. Many of the chapters are quite short which was great for nighttime listening before falling asleep. I believe listeners of all ages could enjoy this tale.

I enjoyed the story very much but it was quite irritating having so many different readers, I like the continuity of just one reader. The changes in reader dialects is also off putting, and spoils the whole read.





Judy Anne
Beyond sentimental, to the point of being utterly cloying. Well read, of course, by LibriVox volunteers. The book itself, however, is almost creepy in its fawning descriptions of Lord Fauntleroy, an "innocent and charming little boy".
