Таинственный сад. Маленький лорд Фаунтлерой

The life of seven-year-old Cedric was no different from that of an ordinary boy, until one day he learned that he had inherited a vast fortune and a noble title. However, getting along with his stern and haughty grandfather, the... Earl, to whom Cedric had to move, turned out to be quite difficult. 

The novel “Little Lord Fauntleroy,” published in 1886, instantly became a bestseller and was loved by readers. With this book, the then not very well-known writer Frances Hodgson Burnett made a name for herself. The novellas “The Secret Garden” and “A Little Princess,” in which the main characters bravely overcome the hardships of life despite their young age, have etched Burnett's name into the history of literature. These poignant works about children who have endured many trials touch the depths of the soul, and the simple yet elegant illustrations by artists such as Charles Robinson, Reginald Birch, and Charles Edmund Brock beautifully convey the spirit of the time.
