Jean Webster’s novel, Daddy-Long-Legs, is an epistolary novel that follows the story of an orphan named Jerusha ‘Judy’ Abbott, who is sent to college by an anonymous benefactor known as Daddy-Long-Legs. Through a series of letters Judy writes to Daddy-Long-Legs, the novel explores themes of identity, independence, and social class. Webster’s easy-to-read and engaging writing style makes this novel a timeless classic that appeals to readers of all ages. Set in the early 20th century, Daddy-Long-Legs offers a glimpse into the world of a young woman finding her place in society. Webster’s use of humor and heartfelt moments adds depth to the narrative, making it a compelling read. Jean Webster, a pseudonym for Alice Jane Chandler Webster, was an American author and social activist who drew inspiration from her own experiences as an orphan and college student. Daddy-Long-Legs is considered her most popular work. I highly recommend Daddy-Long-Legs to readers interested in coming-of-age stories with a touch of romance and humor.
