A kind woman who was always deeply interested in the problems of the downtrodden, Jean Webster made an orphan girl a major character in one of her most charming and popular books--Daddy-Long-Legs. The oldest at a dreary home for foundlings, Judy Abbott finds her life completely changed when, with the help of a mysterious benefactor, she is granted her wish to be able to go to college. In return for this great favor, Judy has to write her anonymous sponsor each month about her activities at the New England school, which she does in letters addressed to "Daddy-Long-Legs." A meeting with the rich, handsome uncle of her snobbish roommate sets Judy and readers alike on the road to uncovering the secrets surrounding her secret friend. Unabridged republication of a standard edition.

    I've read this books many times, both in Chinese and English version. I just loved it. I lent my book to a friend and she never returned it to me, so I would buy it whenever I saw it.
    I love the letter form of this book and the cute little drawings. And of course, the romance in it.

    I think most of us watched the Japanese animation 長腿叔叔. This is the first time i read the English novel version. Actually this book is quite difficult to understand, not the contents, but the sentences structure and the vocab. But i still enjoy it very much. This is a Girls-must-read-book.

  • Judie Abbott has been my best childhood friend. And this is her story, a sort of modern funny version of Cinderella, narrated in the form of interesting and amazing letters. The ending is cheerful and the plot is suspenseful. Just relax and enjoy with Judie, my friend.

  • What a classic you shouldn't miss.

    By the way, the novel was dramatized by FujiTV (私のあしながおじさん, 1990) which was also wonderful.
