Synopsis

In "Little Lord Fauntleroy," Francis Hodgson Burnett crafts a heartwarming narrative that explores themes of innocence, social class, and moral responsibility. Set against the backdrop of Victorian England and America, the novel follows young Cedric Erroll, an American boy who unexpectedly becomes a lord due to his father's lineage. The book is imbued with a rich, sentimental tone, epitomizing Burnett's ability to evoke deep emotions while engaging a child audience. The contrast between Cedric's unpretentious values and the complexities of aristocratic life serves to critique social hierarchies, making it both a compassionate tale and a social commentary. Francis Hodgson Burnett, an accomplished Victorian author, was born in 1849 in England and later emigrated to America. Her experiences as a woman navigating both English and American social structures informed her portrayal of class distinctions. Burnett'Äôs own background, marked by both hardship and privilege, imbues "Little Lord Fauntleroy" with authenticity, as she weaves her observations into the fabric of Cedric'Äôs charming character and the transformative journey he embarks upon. This timeless classic is highly recommended for readers of all ages, as it invites reflections on kindness, family bonds, and the importance of integrity. Its endearing protagonist and moral lessons resonate deeply, making it a valuable addition to any literary collection.

    Between 2024 and 2025, the writer donated all her books to the “Tibet House Foundation”, of Barcelona, to contribute to the education of Tibetan orphans who have fled Tibet.

    Sundar Singh - Footprints Over...

    As Sundar preached the gospel to the crowd, the monastery guard marched forward and arrested him. Sundar was dragged to the edge of town and hurled to the bottom of an abandoned well. The air was putrid. Desperation and loneliness soon washed over him. Left to die, Sundar leaned against the side of the well and began to pray. Searching since boyhood for the way to God, Sundar Singh found truth in Jesus Christ. At sixteen, the former Sikh became a Christian sadhu, or holy man, and at great risk devoted his life to Christ. With bare feet and few possessions, Sundar crossed the precarious Himalayas between India and Tibet many times, sharing the gospel with Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs -- even thieves. As he traveled, Sundar constantly read the Bible, prayed, and meditated, confident that God was always with him, even in the face of death. Preaching in Asia, Europe, and as far away as America, this Indian saint impacted thousands with his quiet yet bold words and actions.
