Story
Frances Hodgson Burnett published The Making of a Marchioness in 1901. She had written Little Lord Fauntleroy 15 years before and would write The Secret Garden in 10 years' time; it is these two books for which she is best known. Yet Marchioness was one of Nancy Mitford's favourite books, was considered 'the best novel Mrs Hodgson Burnett wrote' by Marghanita Laski, and is taught on a university course in America together with novels such as Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre, and Daisy Miller.

Story
Slowbridge's customs have been set in stone by Lady Theobald, who has decreed that young ladies should always wear white muslin to social events and that their only decoration should be fresh flowers - which invariably wilt by the end of the evening. Enter Octavia, bedecked in yards of lace and ribbons and with a profusion of diamond jewelry. She is soon informed that only married ladies wear diamonds in England. She makes other mistakes: Young ladies do not ask men to join them on terraces; they do not invite men to play croquet on their lawns.

A Real Boy Becomes a Lord
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
This is a children's story that is a fun listen. My older children (teens) thought it a little predictable and too 'perfect', but that didn't stop them from listening to it when it was on in the room. We did enjoy it. It was neat to see how his Mother put her son's best interests ahead of her own. She was exemplary. So often we say what we think without restraint instead of choosing to do what is right. It is a bit of a morality tale, but there is enough of a good story to make it fun to listen to.
What other book might you compare Little Lord Fauntleroy to and why?
THis story reminds me a bit of Mark Twain's book, 'The Prince and the Pauper'. Both have boys who have to live real lives to learn how to be a good ruler.
Any additional comments?
I would listen to this again.

Another Good Book by Frances Hodgson Burnett
Another good book by Frances Hodgson Burnett. This is my second book of Frances and it's a wonderful childrens' book. Am sure it will please even grownups just like children. Characters development and portrayal was so very well done. Narration was beautiful both by the author and Johanna Ward for audible. Definitely enjoyable and worth listening to.

The absolute best!
I have listened to many audiobooks (close to 90 at this point!) and this is one of the very top on my list. The writing is spectacular, such a great story. I can see why this book was one of the most popular children's stories of the 19th century (as popular as Harry Potter today!) Automatically will be a read for my children when they grow up and I already plan to listen to it again. The narration is also spectacular.

Sweet old fashioned story
This story was very enjoyable in a quaint old fashioned way. Like most of Frances Hodgson Burnett's main child characters, this little boy was too good to be true - unrealistically angelic, unselfish and adorable, with far more bravery and philanthropy than one could hope for from even an 1800s 7 year old - but obviously the aim was to inspire young readers to become likewise, and that kind of made it more pleasant to listen to!
The story follows the fortunes of Cedric Errol, a Pollyanna/Heidi- like character who went from rags to riches, taming a grumpy old git along the way. The moral of the story is, of course, that a kind heart is worth more than any amount of money.
The narrator was very good, clear, well spoken and nicely paced. However, I have knocked off one star because the story required different accents (American, Irish and the servants) and this was not a success! Her lamentable attempt at an Irish accent was just laughably ridiculous, and her American accent was no better than midatlantic at best. She would have done better to stick to the nice cultured English speaking voice which was her real one. Also, she didn't have much vocal range; rough male voices, soft female voices, raging anger and the child's high piping voice could have been portrayed with rather more variation.
The story was so twee and heartwarming though, that this wasn't a deal breaker. Just right for a bit of easy listening before bed.

Any additional comments?
This is a story I remember from childhood and it was just as good as I remembered. The narration was excellent and kept me interested. It is definitely worth listening to if you want a simple story to listen to in the evening. The American accent wasn't bad and the characters were suitably brought to life. I will look for other audible books from the authors and from the narrator, Joanna Ward.
