Little Lord Fauntleroy by Francis Hodgson Burnett was the most recently assigned book for Josh’s Upper Grammar Tapestry of Grace co-op literature discussion. Ok.. that was a mouthful (LOL).
Here is an excerpt from the Barnes & Noble website: Published in 1886, the story begins with young long-curly-haired Cedric Errol living in New York with his widowed mother. After inheriting a title and estate, he moves to England, charming all he meets, doing good deeds for those in high and low positions, and encountering plenty of adventures (including a rival claim to his estate) along the way.
I really enjoyed this book! The young boy turned royality is only eight years old!! It was fun to read it and discuss with Josh what it would have been like to have these things happen to him at such a young age.
I will look into this as a literature selection. Trev’s not been as thrilled with our choices this year . . . (okay, MY choices).
I checked out Little Britches at the library, but I know he’ll appreciate it a whole lot more in a few years. Meanwhile, I gave it to Robert to read, and I might read it, since we KNOW so well the places mentioned in the book. I knew it was Colorado, but not Denver/Morrison!
