I should hate "little lord" ,its reactionary side and its obsolete grating moral.But I have got to make amends :this is irresistible ,the perfect Xmas gift for the whole family.Tons of finer feelings ,an adorable little boy we side with all the time,a grumpy granddaddy,in the mold of Dickens' Scroodge ,wonderfully played by sir Alec Guiness. What could you ask for more?perhaps a child's soul but is there a grown up who has not kept it?If he hasn't I pity him.I also love the mother who refuses charity and who wants to earn her living .These stories of the young child who was actually a rich heir were frequent in the nineteenth century: "the little princess" or the French "Sans Famille"
