1. Fauntleroy

   Little Lord Fauntleroy is a novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett. It was published as a serial in St. Nicholas Magazine from November 1885 to October 1886, then as a book by Scribner's (the publisher of St. Nicholas) in 1886. The illustrations by Reginald B. Birch set fashion trends and the novel set a precedent in copyright law when Burnett won a lawsuit in 1888 against E. V. Seebohm over the rights to theatrical adaptations of the work.

1. fauntleroy

   A Fauntleroy is often used to refer to a boy or a man who is excessively refined or mannered, often in a way considered effeminate. The term derived from the character's name, Little Lord Fauntleroy, from the 1886 novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett. In this novel, the character is a young American boy who inherits an English earldom and grows up to be kind, gracious, and well-behaved, depicted in a velvet suit with a lace collar. The term can sometimes carry a potentially negative or derogatory connotation, suggesting over-refinement to the point of pretentiousness or weakness.

1. Fauntleroy

   Fauntleroy is a neighborhood in the southwest corner of Seattle, Washington. Part of West Seattle and situated on Puget Sound's Fauntleroy Cove, it faces Vashon Island, Blake Island, and the Kitsap Peninsula to the west. On sunny days, many locations in the neighborhood offer views of the Olympic Mountains, which are about 40 miles to the west. The neighborhood adjoins Lincoln Park to the north, Fauntlee Hills to the east, and Arbor Heights to the south. Within Fauntleroy is an area known as Endolyne. Fauntleroy is home to an eponymous Washington State Ferries terminal, providing service to Vashon Island and Southworth. The neighborhood, creek, and park all take their name from the cove, itself named by one Lt. George Davidson of the U. S. Coast Survey in 1857 in honor of the family of his fiancée, Ellinor Fauntleroy of Indiana. Fauntleroy's history was chronicled by Roy Morse and Richard Brown in Fauntleroy Legacy and by Clay Eals in West Side Story. Central to the Fauntleroy neighborhood are Fauntleroy Church, Fauntleroy YMCA, and The Hall at Fauntleroy, which now houses Fauntleroy Children's Center; a caterer, rental auditorium and meeting rooms; and several other business tenants.
