About This Item
Synopsis
Little Lord Fauntleroy is the first children's novel written by English–American playwright and author Frances Hodgson Burnett. It is a classic 'rags-to-riches' story, and was originally published as a serial in the St. Nicholas Magazine between November 1885 and October 1886, then as a book by Scribner's in 1886. The accompanying illustrations by Reginald Birch set fashion trends and Little Lord Fauntleroy also set a precedent in copyright law when in 1888 its author won a lawsuit against E. V. Seebohm over the rights to theatrical adaptations of the work.-
