the book is okay,the narrator is shit

I really enjoyed this audiobook. the story is masterfully written and well read. I enjoyed seeing a picture of America and England from so long ago. the story is wonderful, I highly recommend it!!

This book still touches you. Tho the sentimental writing style of the author is excessive in our Y2K world, I still am happy when the fraud against Fauntleroy (and his Earl grandfather) is exposed.

It's a minor classic, and still deserves a read. Note that even Japanese anime' artists have done a version (unseen by me) of this timeless story.

A young American Brooklyn boy is the last living descendant of the hostile old British Earl of Dorincourt. The Earl is prepared to despise this boy (as he does all Americans) but is first impressed by this gifted and handsome young child, and then...is won back to the human race by the unselfish love the child gives to him...and to others.

The appeal (I think) is perhaps a young but morally strong child coming into such incredible wealth and power,
