It tells the story of Cedric Errol, an impoverished American boy who is unexpectedly transplanted into the English aristocracy when he inherits the title Lord Fauntleroy. As the heir to an earldom and a vast estate, Cedric is educated as an English aristocrat by his grandfather, the earl of Dorincourt.
