LE PETIT LORD: French Edition: THIS EDITION: The French translation has been converted into a segmented format, and has been modernised and amended, for a dual language project. The story was originally written in English. (Little Lord Fauntleroy was first published as a serial, and then as a book.) BRIEF SYNOPSIS: Little Lord Fauntleroy is a story about a little American boy who suddenly becomes an English lord. It is a story that contrasts naive love and compassion against calculated self-interest, and how growth can take place as a result. AUTHOR: Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849-1924) was an English-American socialite, playwright, and author. She is best known for her children's stories. (For a Dual-Language Book Project) 2Language Books"
