When young Cedric Errol's father passes away, the American boy discovers he's inherited an unexpected legacy—he's the sole heir to an English earldom. Though his mother comes from humble origins as a seamstress, Cedric is summoned across the Atlantic to live with his grandfather, the cold and forbidding Earl of Dorincourt, a man embittered by his son's marriage beneath his station.
Frances Hodgson Burnett's beloved children's classic, *Der kleine Lord*, follows Cedric as he arrives at his grandfather's grand English estate, separated from his devoted mother by the Earl's rigid class prejudices. Despite the austere atmosphere and his grandfather's icy demeanor, the charming young boy begins a quiet transformation—one that challenges the old man's hardened heart and narrow beliefs about love, family, and what truly defines nobility.
With warmth and gentle wisdom, Burnett explores themes of compassion, kindness transcending social boundaries, and the redemptive power of innocence. This timeless coming-of-age story celebrates how genuine goodness can melt even the coldest hearts and reshape entire lives.
Perfect for families seeking heartwarming fiction that speaks to both children and adults, this audiobook reminds listeners that true aristocracy lies not in titles or wealth, but in character and love.
