Summary: See the Video and Read the Book
Comment: A fine story is good enough to read several times, like good music or art. That is true of Little Lord Fauntleroy.

This is by far, in my opinion, the best version. While some license has been taken to compress this great story into the time available, many of the lines are word-for-word from the book.

Stories like this become classics because of the author's great style and skill in the art of storytelling. Directors would do well to accurately portray to original and not try to innovate too much.

This version actually lends to ones imagination when the book is read, even though there are some differences. Our family has watched this video several times and will, I'm sure, watch it again.

Summary: The New World comes to the Old World
Comment: This delightful story has a reputation for being very sentimental, and it is, but it is also filled with humour. Cedric Errol, an all-American boy, discovers to his dismay that he is the heir to an English earldom, and has to go to England to live with his stern old grandfather, who despises Americans (he must have been reading the Guardian, I suppose). Gradually they learn to like each other, and the grandfather even comes around to liking Cedric's American mother. There is a melodromatic sub-plot involving a false heir, but the story is really interesting enough without it. The best character in the book is Cedric's friend Mr. Hobbs, a staunchly Republican grocer who despises earls "I'd like to catch one of em inside here; that's all!" he tells Cedric, before he knows Cedric is one of them "I'll have no graspin tyrants sittin round on my buiscuit barrels!" By the end of the book though, he has become so attached to Cedric that he sells his grocery business and settles in England, where he becomes an avid follower of aristocratic doings. He says he'll never return to America "It's a good enough country for them that's young and stirrin - but there's faults in it. there's not an aunt-sister among em - nor an earl!" Which pretty much sums up how I feel about America too.
