HarperCollins is proud to present its range of best-loved, essential classics. 'Lord
Dorincourt had occasion to wear his grim smile many a time as the days
passed by. Indeed, as his acquaintance with his grandson progressed, he
wore the smile so often that there were moments when it almost lost its
grimness.' When young Cedric Errol's father dies, he becomes heir
to the fortune of his English grandfather, the Earl of Dorincourt, and
must move from working-class New York to England. Bad-tempered,
cantankerous and bitter, the old man is slowly won over by the kind,
generous and cheerful spirit of Cedric. When a plot arises to
deprive Cedric of his inheritance and another pretender steps forward as
heir, Cedric's friends in America become involved in order to thwart
the challenger. Through Cedric's unconditional love and trust he teaches
his grandfather to show compassion to those who are less fortunate than
himself.
