The film adaptation of Little Lord Fauntleroy starred former child actor Tom Taus Jr. as the eponymous character.
The series is a home drama which depicts the process of a grumpy grandfather and the surroundings of a noble family moved by his grandson and becoming mild.
The story concerns an American boy named Cedric Errol (more fondly known as "Ceddie[1]), who at an early age finds that he is the sole heir to a British earldom and leaves New York City to take up residence in his ancestral castle.
After some initial resistance, he is joined by his middle-class mother (whom Cedie calls "Dearest"), widow of heir James Errol.
Hikaru Nishida, who sang the opening and ending themes of the series, was not part of the voice cast, but she did play Cedie in the musical adaptation.
