Bücher von Frances Hodgson Burnett

The Shuttle is a 1907 novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett. One of Burnett's longer and more complicated books for adults, it deals with themes of intermarriages between wealthy American heiresses and impoverished British nobles. Sir Nigel Anstruthers comes to New York in search of an heiress, as he no longer has enough money to keep up his estate, Stornham Court. He marries the pretty and cosseted Rosalie Vanderpoel, the daughter of an American millionaire. But on their return to England, Nigel and his mother control and isolate Rosalie from her family. Many years later, Rosalie's now-grown up sister Bettina, who has spent a decade wondering why Rosy has lost contact with the family, arrives at Stornham Court to investigate.

Über Nacht zum Lord - das gibt es eigentlich nur im Märchen! Den siebenjährigen Cedric verschlägt es von New York nach England, wo ihn sein adliger Großvater zu seinem würdigen Nachfolger erziehen will - mit allen Konsequenzen. Nach dem Tod seines Vaters wächst Cedric mit seiner Mutter in ärmlichen Verhältnissen, aber in einem behüteten Umfeld und reich an Freunden auf. Die Atmosphäre auf dem Anwesen des Earls of Dorincourt im verregnet- kalten England ist jedoch eine ganz andere: Die strikte Erziehung zu Sitte und Ordnung steht an erster Stelle. Sein ihm fremder Großvater entpuppt sich als ein veritabler Ebenezer Scrooge, dem Geld über das Menschliche geht. Es braucht jedoch keine drei Geister, um bei dem alten Earl eine Verwandlung zu mehr Nächstenliebe zu bewirken: Dies schafft ganz allein Ceddie, der kleine Lord mit dem großen Herzen.

Der kleine Cedric Errol aus New York staunt nicht schlecht, als plötzlich ein fremder Mann vor ihm steht und ihm sagt, er sei ein echter Lord! Denn nach dem Tod seines Vaters ist Cedric der letzte Anwärter auf den Grafentitel, und sein kaltherziger Großvater, der Earl of Dorincourt, holt den Jungen nach England, um ihn standesgemäß erziehen zu lassen. Cedrics Mutter, eine Amerikanerin, darf das Anwesen des Earls nicht betreten und wohnt in einem kleinen Haus am Rande des Dorfs. Durch sein offenes, freundliches Wesen gelingt es dem kleinen Lord, seinen Großvater nach und nach für sich einzunehmen und er überredet ihn, das Armenviertel des Dorfs instand zu setzen. Schließlich erkennt der Earl, dass auch Cedrics Mutter, die sich um die Armen kümmert, eine rechtschaffende Frau ist und heißt auch sie in seinem Schloss willkommen.Den mit Alec Guinness genial verfilmten und beliebten Weihnachtsklassiker Der kleine Lord hat Jan Reiser für diese hochwertige und ungekürzt übersetze Buchausgabe wunderbar neu illustriert.
