Going to live with his stern and miserly grandfather, Cedric impresses the old man with his innocence and good nature.

A description of Cedric’s clothing created an impact on fashion when mothers across the country dressed their boys up in velvet suits with lace collars.
Tentang Penulis
Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849-1924) was born in Cheetham, England. She and her family immigrated to the United States after her father died and their financial circumstances became strained. Once in Tennessee, she began to help support her mother and siblings by earning money by writing stories. Over her lifetime, she wrote more than forty books, many of which reflected her own family’s riches-to-rags circumstances, including her most well-known novels, A Little Princess and The Secret Garden.
