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...
