Daddy-Long-Legs

Jean Webber’s classic Daddy-Long-Legs begs to be read by one and all. Regardless of your age, interests, gender, or anything else, you must read it; if you haven’t already as a kid, that is.

This is a story of a young girl who is brought up in an orphanage and suddenly finds herself transported to a college thanks to an anonymous trustee. Knowing the generous trustee only by his lean silhouette, she calls him Daddy-Long-Legs. She writes to him regularly during her four years of college despite his never writing back. The entire story is presented as a collection of letters to Daddy. However, the letters are very wisely composed. They bring out the character of the young girl, her attitude, and her growing up with time poignantly.

The letters are light hearted, expressive, extremely humane, and lots of fun. Although the supposed surprise can be easily guessed after the first 35 pages, the book is still extremely gripping and one tends to flip page after another. Its a quick read but has beautiful expressions that one feels like reading over and over again.
