“It isn't the great big pleasures that count the most; it's making a great deal out of the little ones.” — Jean Webster What if your entire life changed because of a mysterious benefactor you’ve never met? In this heartwarming epistolary novel, orphan Jerusha “Judy” Abbott is sent to college by an anonymous patron whom she affectionately nicknames "Daddy-Long-Legs"—and in return, she must write him regular letters. Through wit, warmth, and an unbreakable spirit, Judy blossoms into an independent young woman with a voice all her own. With humor and honesty, Daddy-Long-Legs explores themes of identity, education, self-worth, and the subtle blossoming of love. An unforgettable story of growth told entirely through letters, it remains one of the most charming and empowering classics of early 20th-century literature.
