«Daddy-Long-Legs» is Jean Webster's epistolary novel, published in paperback (160 pages, in English).
Jerusha Abbott, an orphan raised in the John Grier Home, sees her life change when an anonymous benefactor pays for her college education in exchange for a monthly letter. In these letters, Judy —as she prefers to call herself— recounts her daily life: friendships, readings, small victories, and her curiosity to know who the mysterious «Daddy-Long-Legs» is.
First installment of the Daddy-Long-Legs series. The novel was originally published in 1912.
Recommended for young people and adults who enjoy classics, romance, and coming-of-age stories.
Jean Webster was the pen name of Alice Jane Chandler Webster, an American author whose books include Daddy-Long-Legs and Dear Enemy. Her best-known books feature lively and likeable young female protagonists who come of age intellectually, morally, and socially, but with enough humor, snappy dialogue, and gently biting social commentary to make her books palatable and enjoyable to contemporary readers.
