Judy, an orphan raised in an orphanage, sees her fate change when an anonymous benefactor, who calls himself John Smith, funds her university studies in exchange for letters in which she tells him about her daily life.

Aimed at young readers who want to read in Italian a youth classic narrated with an agile tone.
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.
