Der kleine Lord ist ein Roman von Frances Hodgson Burnett. Er wurde nach seinem Ersterscheinen 1886 als Kinderbuch in vielen Sprachen sehr erfolgreich und ist mehrfach verfilmt worden. Cedric Errol, ein kleiner Junge aus New York in den USA, dessen Umfeld die Monarchie strikt ablehnt, wird von seinem kaltherzigen englischen Großvater, dem Earl of Dorincourt, trotz der standeswidrigen Ehe seines verstorbenen Vaters, des jüngsten Sohnes des Earls, als letzter verbliebener Nachfolger für den Grafentitel bei sich aufgenommen und aufgezogen. Seine Mutter, eine Amerikanerin, darf das Anwesen des Earls aufgrund von Voreingenommenheit gegen Amerika und Standesdünkel nicht betreten. Der kleine Lord veranlasst seinen Großvater, der durch den offenherzigen und liebenswerten Jungen nach und nach zugänglicher wird, das Armenviertel des Dorfes (in dem seine Pächter wohnen) instand zu setzen. Cedric kümmert sich um die Vernachlässigten, ebenso wie seine Mutter, welche im Ort unweit des Schlosses lebt, die er aber nach Belieben besuchen darf. Sie nimmt den Unterhalt vom Earl aus Gewissensgründen nicht an und gibt ihn an die Armen weiter. Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849-1924) war eine britische Schriftstellerin.

When Sara's privileged status comes to an abrupt end and she finds herself penniless, the plucky heroine uses her imagination and generosity of spirit to make the best of life.
