Author Description

Cedric himself knew nothing whatever about it. It had never been even mentioned to him. He knew that his papa had been an Englishman, because his mamma had told him so; but then his papa had died when he was so little a boy that he could not remember very much about him, except that he was big, and had blue eyes and a long mustache, and that it was a splendid thing to be carried around the room on his shoulder. ---------- ###German-language description: Der siebenjährige ***Cedric*** lebt mit seiner verwitweten Mutter in New York in ärmlichen Verhältnissen, als sich das Leben des Jungen schlagartig ändert: Er soll ein ***Lord*** werden!
