JEAN WEBSTER
Jerusha (Judy) Abbot is 18, and has outgrown the orphanage in which she grew up. Her carers aren’t sure what to do with her; Judy’s too smart to be wasted on Household School, but there’s just no money to pay for college. That is, until a rich trustee reads an essay written by Judy, and it makes him laugh. He offers to send her to college to become a writer, on the condition that she writes him regular letters to keep him up to date with events.
Jean Webster was a grandniece of Mark Twain, and it shows. “Daddy Long Legs” is her best-known book, published in 1911. It is an epistolary novel and a profound and tender homage to the power of awakening love.
Also available as an audiobook wherever audiobooks are sold.
