具体描述
1912. Webster was a grandniece of Mark Twain. She was interested in social work, especially the fields of childcare and prison reform, but her main occupation was writing. She wrote a number of short stories and novels for younger readers including her most famous work, Daddy- Long-Legs. In Daddy-Long-Legs Jerusha Abbot is an orphan with a wicked pen and penetrating insight. Lately of the John Grier Home for orphans, of which too little good cannot be said, Miss Abbott embarks upon a course of college study funded by an anonymous benefactor. This epistolary story contains her charming letters to her unknown Daddy-Long-Legs, named by Miss Abbott because only once at the orphanage did she see his shadow drawn out in the headlights of the car toward which he walked. The insight and wit in this little book are priceless. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.

读后感
超爱这个童话。永远难忘第一章“blue Wednesday".怀念在初中，躺在摇摇欲坠的上铺床上看这本书的安静和美丽的感觉，有意思的事。看这本书的同时，我也在看爱玲的《倾城之恋》。两种不同的气氛交织在一起，让我感到世界的复杂和希望。 难忘茱迪。像一棵坚韧的荻草那样生长。当然...
评分 评分读第一遍的时候觉得可真是快乐，杰维少爷可真是个英俊帅气、富贵多金的大醋坛，集合了一切白马王子的特征。而朱蒂，就是那个灰头土脸的灰姑娘，被王子疯狂的打扮了一番后就一跃成了公主。 看到了小X在读，于是简单又翻了一下。得出如下结论： 1、杰维少爷是为自己塑造了一个新...
评分看的是英文版本。本來是不喜歡書信式的故事的。不過judy的少女情愫吸引了我。她和所謂[叔叔]的戀愛故事青澀真實。judy有jane eyre一樣堅強的品德。 屬於[愛的教育]類型，文字也比較簡單。

可爱的文字，可爱的人儿～
评分英文书里猝不及防而且夹生的法语阅读；最后几封信一下子苏的不得了；“Humility or resignation or whatever you choose to call it , is simply impotent inertia.” "If you just want a thing hard enough and keep on trying, you do get it in the end." "Whenever you are away from me I shall be thinking of all the automobiles that can run over you…"前两句很美国梦，后一句很可爱
评分满脑子养成系。
评分It is really the cutest book I have ever read. Every time I was down, I start to flip through Daddy long legs, it gave me courage and put a smile on my face =) Also, the way I communicate to God just like the way this girl talks to her Daddy long legs. I
评分挺可爱的，生词也不多，任何无聊发呆的时间都想用来读这本书，所以两天读了一半多也是有点快，和duchess of bloomsbury相比有趣的多。爱不释手，手不释卷，就是我看完这本书第一行字的感觉
