Sinopsis

First published in 1912, Jean Webster&rsquo,s &ldquo,Daddy-Long-Legs&rdquo, is the tale of Jerusha &ldquo,Judy&rdquo, Abbott, raised in the John Grier House, a bleak orphanage, and left as a baby without even a name from her parents. Told in a series of letters, this modern girls&rsquo, fairy tale follows Judy, a plucky young woman without ties and unsure of her future, as she comes of age. After a visit from the trustees of the orphanage when she is 17, Judy is told that one of the trustees sees in her the potential of a writer and wishes to be the patron of her college education. In exchange for tuition payment and a generous monthly allowance, Judy must write him a letter each month. It is this correspondence which forms the basis of this epistolary novel. She goes to an excellent women&rsquo,s university and thrives, growing, learning, and having fun in an adventurous period of self-discovery. Webster&rsquo,s tale of an orphan and her unknown, shadowy benefactor is an enriching and hopeful love story that unfolds in the pages of letters from a cheerful young woman to the man who changes her life. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
