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.
作者简介
琴·韦伯斯特，美国人。1876年出生于纽约州的佛雷多尼亚一个充满文艺气息的家庭中，父亲从事出版工作，母亲是马克·吐温的侄女。

评分蔡康永说，许多人对爱读书的人都有一些误解……他们只是通过读书来逃避现实而已。 重读《长腿叔叔》，儿时的憧憬当然已经褪色，但无论如何，这依然是一部吸引人的童话。它是一个永恒静止的桃花源。 我们原谅朱蒂的一切粗鲁和荒唐，因为她是神的孩子——若干...
评分我觉得最幸福的并不是突然过上幸福生活的孤儿朱蒂，而是能经常接到她信件的长腿叔叔。谁能比读到那样可爱的文字更开心的呢？因此读这本书的人觉得自己就成了长腿叔叔，那天真的幽默和智慧所串起的珍珠般的文字，即使最阴郁的人也会开怀吧。那欢乐的邮戳所盖下的岁月呵，谁不...
