«Little Lord Fauntleroy» is the first children’s novel written by English playwright and author Frances Hodgson Burnett.

Polly Hovarth writes that Little Lord Fauntleroy «was the Harry Potter of his time and Frances Hodgson Burnett was as celebrated for creating him as J.K. Rowling is for Potter.»
