Daddy-Long-Legs is a 1912 novel by American writer Jean Webster. It revolves around Jerusha Judy Abbott, a young girl who grew up in an orphanage. When she is seventeen and her schooling is over, she remains at the orphanage to work in the dormitories. One day, Judy is told that, convinced she has has potential to become an excellent writer, one of the charity trustees has offered to pay her way through college. Daddy-Long-Legs is an epistolary novel presented as the letters between Judy, and her unknown benefactor. Jean Webster is the pseudonym of Alice Jane Chandler Webster (1876 - 1916), an American writer who authored many well-known books including Daddy-Long-Legs and Dear Enemy. Her most famous works are often characterised by powerful, likeable young female main characters who experience a maturation and intellectual coming-of-age morally and socially. Including witty humour, snappy dialogue, and social commentary, her works are still read and enjoyed by readers today the world over. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
