1912. Webster was a grandniece of Mark Twain. She was interested in social work, especially the fields of childcare and prison reform, but her main occupation was writing. She wrote a number of short stories and novels for younger readers including her most famous work, Daddy- Long-Legs. In Daddy-Long-Legs Jerusha Abbot is an orphan with a wicked pen and penetrating insight. Lately of the John Grier Home for orphans, of which too little good cannot be said, Miss Abbott embarks upon a course of college study funded by an anonymous benefactor. This epistolary story contains her charming letters to her unknown Daddy-Long-Legs, named by Miss Abbott because only once at the orphanage did she see his shadow drawn out in the headlights of the car toward which he walked. The insight and wit in this little book are priceless. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.

终于看了这本书
评分英文书里猝不及防而且夹生的法语阅读;最后几封信一下子苏的不得了;“Humility or resignation or whatever you choose to call it , is simply impotent inertia.” "If you just want a thing hard enough and keep on trying, you do get it in the end." "Whenever you are away from me I shall be thinking of all the automobiles that can run over you…"前两句很美国梦,后一句很可爱

评分How lovely the book is!杰维少爷真的很闷骚了,一直不说话,但是知道Judy有机会和异性亲密接触又着急得不行。最后以情书结尾,真的可爱极了。
