The Little Lord - Live Audio Drama based on Frances Hodgson Burnett

Frances Hodgson Burnett's novel has everything a Christmas classic needs: a grumpy old man, a young boy with a big heart, and plenty of humour - because when the dusty world of aristocracy meets modern America, there is much to laugh about.

"The Little Lord" puts everyone in a Christmas mood; even the stern Earl of Dorincourt.

New York City, 1872. Young Cedric doesn't know how to tell his friends: he, an ordinary American boy, is to move into his grandfather's castle - and later become an English Earl himself! His friends aren't keen on kings and lords anyway. When Cedric arrives in England with his mother, the welcome is far from warm. His grandfather, the old Earl of Dorincourt, is cold and distant. Just as the little lord manages to befriend the old man, a letter calls everything into question: is Cedric even the Earl's heir?

In 1886, readers eagerly awaited each new chapter: how would this thrilling and touching story continue? For "The Little Lord" originally appeared as a serial in an American children's magazine.
