Love the film with Freddie Bartholomew!! Did not know there was a book- Little Lord Fauntleroy - thanks!

I have all three on bluray- but must be honest- have not seen them yet!

Carol,

when you post a comment - on top right of comment box- you will see "add book/author (some html is ok)"
Click "addbook/author" a box shows up- type in name of book- enter- and list and pictures of books with that name come up- click on book cover- **make sure on bottom the "cover" is click- not "Link" as this will display cover pic!

very good points- I agree- so rare for a film to truly capture a book- even GREAT films like To Kill A Mockingbird and Mary Poppins- brilliant films!! yet both left out many characters and events from the actual books

I still remember spotting David Halberstam browsing at a NYC Barnes and Noble years ago- went over to him- I think he was looking in the History secton- very nice guy- amazing writer- tragic how he passed
