About the author
The author, Frances Hudson Burnett, was born in England, but poverty forced her and her family to migrate to America, and she did not start writing for children until later, inspired by Dr. Swan Burnett.
The novel of the Noble Boy was serialized in Saint Nicholas magazine between 1885 and 1886, then published as a book in 1888, selling ten thousand copies in the first week of its release.
Then, the style of clothing worn by Cedric became a dominant fashion in America and Europe.
British Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone said that it would have a great impact in creating a change in mutual feelings between the American and British peoples.
Like many of Burnett’s novels, the story was adapted into famous cartoon series that influenced both adults and children.
Among her most famous works are The Secret Garden and The Little Princess.
A brief about the novel of the Noble Boy
"Always be kind, brave, compassionate, and honest, my dear, and then you will never hurt anyone in your life…"
This was the advice of "Dear" to Cedric, and perhaps it is the proper preparation one needs when dealing with others.
In fact, it is the "soft" power that brings about change in the long run, leaving a lasting and stronger impact.
Cedric was not a naive child but a loving and innocent-hearted boy who believed in his mother’s advice, "Dear," and saw it as the only way to make this world better and more livable.
He firmly believed in his small heart that love and kindness are the true authority, which must prevail so that everything is in its proper place.
Quotes from the book of the Noble Boy
"Maintaining silence is always the appropriate and proper response."
"Goodbye must come someday, even between the dearest friends."
It is natural for a person to want to resemble his father, but he will undoubtedly love his grandfather’s appearance, even if he does not resemble his father.
When he learned that his father would not return, he saw his mother’s sadness, and a feeling grew in his small heart that he must do everything he can to make her happy.
