Little Lord Fauntleroy

Frances Hodgson Burnett

Publisher: DigiCat

Summary

In "Little Lord Fauntleroy," Frances Hodgson Burnett crafts a poignant tale of innocence and nobility through the eyes of a young American boy, Cedric Erroll. Set against the backdrop of England's aristocracy in the late 19th century, the narrative juxtaposes the simplicity and warmth of Cedric's upbringing in New York with the rigid expectations of his British lineage. Through elegant prose and vivid characterizations, Burnett delves into themes of social class, identity, and the transformative power of kindness, all while maintaining a tone of optimism and moral clarity characteristic of Victorian literature. Frances Hodgson Burnett, renowned for her ability to blend social commentary with enchanting storytelling, was deeply influenced by her own experiences as an immigrant and her passion for children's welfare. Her own childhood struggles and the societal changes surrounding her inspired her to create characters that embody resilience and empathy. "Little Lord Fauntleroy" reflects her belief in the innate goodness of children and the possibility for love to transcend social barriers, illustrating her mastery of the genre. For readers seeking a classic work that intertwines sincerity with social critique, "Little Lord Fauntleroy" offers an engaging exploration of childhood and privilege. Burnett's timeless narrative encourages introspection about societal norms and reminds us about the innate virtues of compassion and understanding, making it a must-read for both young readers and adults alike.

Gangway for Homer

George R. Hahn

Gangway for Homer by George R. Hahn - Here is an epic worthy of you, immortal bard. Arise, oh Homer, and hearken to the classic saga of Achilles Maravain! Gangway for Homer by George R. Hahn
His name was really John Smith. Incredibly enough, it had always been John Smith. As far back as people in his circle and neighborhood could remember, it had been John Smith—and they could remember back all the way to when he had been a mere tottering tot—to the swaddling clothes days. He was what might be called a medium man. His height was medium. His middle-age was medium. His hair, eyes, and nose were medium. Unpretentious he looked and adequate. He fulfilled his name, which, as we mentioned above, was John Smith—not Achilles Maravain.
Yet she persisted in calling him Achilles Maravain. She declaimed; she cried out; she excited herself and all present—all to the effect that John Smith was Achilles Maravain. Everybody paid her the best of attention, although they couldn't believe her. Everybody regarded her with interest. She had a wild, pale, exotic-looking face, a figure it would be indelicate to remark upon, and legs that were crystallized ecstasy. They listened to her words; they gazed upon her. The Los Angeles Forum of Camera Arts gazed to satiety on face and figure and legs and sighed en masse. Insanely gay sighs, sighed they. She was desirable and moreover she had interrupted President Soupy's discussion of "Repentance," a camera study in monotone by Pierre de la Bardier. Had you ever listened to President Soupy remarking that such and such was "taken on a Zeiss Super Iconta B with Metchnormatic Ultra-Lite film at an exposure of f5.6 with diaphragm—, etc.," you too would have been gay—aye, insanely gay—to have had him interrupted by a luscious looking pair of legs like that. Thus, everybody was happy.
