Published in 1886, the story begins with young long-curly-haired Cedric Errol living in New York with his widowed mother. After inheriting a title and estate, he moves to England, charming all he meets, doing good deeds for those in high and low positions, and encountering plenty of adventures (including a rival claim to his estate) along the way.

One of my favorites while growing up – along with any other by Frances Hodgson Burnett. It’s a great read-aloud for the entire family. ~ Nancy
