Her romance novels were also quite popular during her lifetime. In the story of Little Lord Fauntleroy seven-year-old Cedric Errol, the son of an American woman and a disinherited English Earl, unexpectedly inherits the title of Lord Fauntleroy when all of the the other heirs die. His grandfather, the Earl of Dorincourt-who has always disliked Cedric's mother-makes arrangements for Cedric to come and live with him at the family estate, while Cedric's mother will be given a nearby but separate home. Cedric's mother agrees to this arrangement for the boy's sake, and he is forced to live with his cranky and selfish grandfather.
