‘Little Lord Fauntleroy’ is the first children’s novel written by English playwright and author Frances Hodgson Burnett. It was originally published as a serial in the ‘St. Nicholas Magazine’ between November 1885 and October 1886, then as a book by Scribner’s in 1886. The accompanying illustrations by Reginald Birch set fashion trends and ‘Little Lord Fauntleroy’ also set a precedent in copyright law when in 1888 its author won a lawsuit against E. V. Seebohm over the rights to theatrical adaptations of the work.
