📖 Daddy-Long-Legs

The books of Jean Webster, like 'Just Patty' or 'When Patty Went to College' have already shown her rare touch of humor. The letters which Judy writes to her anonymous benefactor might have been cut and dried formal reports of college work; but they aren't, for Judy is an electric bundle of spicy originality; and her letters to 'Dear Daddy Long-Legs' are delicious chronicles of a young girl's growth out of a starved, lonely childhood into happy, rich womanhood. The illustrations are the author's own and they look as if they had just been scribbled in fun, on the margin of a letter.
