Frances Hodgson Burnetts classic rags to riches story that launched her career and brought her books their enduring popularity now has a gorgeously reimagined cover.Seven-year-old Cedric Errol lives with his mother in New York City and has a decidedly negative view of the British aristocracy. Little does he know, he is a part of that group. When a lawyer arrives at their home, Cedric learns that due to the death of his uncle, he is now the heir to the Earl of Dorincourt and is to move to England to live with his grandfather. Gaining sudden wealth and moving into a castle might be exciting, but it also means living apart from his mother, whom his grandfather never approved of. And the earl is notorious for being a stingy and heartless leader. Before long, Cedrics generous nature and open heart begin to change the whole earldom for the better. But his grandfathers character isnt the only challenge hell face, and soon the new life Cedric has built in England is thrown into jeopardy.
