First published in 1912, Daddy-Long-Legs is an epistolary novel that follows orphan Jerusha "Judy" Abbott through her college years through a series of letters written to her anonymous benefactor, whom she nicknames "Daddy-Long-Legs." As Judy learns to navigate the complex world of studies, social life, and romance, her letters convey her growth and address the increasingly complex questions that preoccupy her. A classic coming-of-age story featuring a clever, engaging, and altogether realistic heroine, Daddy-Long-Legs has been a beloved tale since its publication and continues to delight its audiences.

The plot line is original and interesting. There was little angst, and i enjoyed how the main character, a young woman, held her ground with her benefactor, a man, the times it was necessary. This showed strength of character.
I loved the hea.

This story is mainly letters. An orphan girl is given a scholarship to attend college. The only requirement is that she write to Mr. John Smith once a month so he can judge her learning.
It is a marvelous story that is uplifting to hear as this young hard working young lady learns and discovers a world that would never been available to her if things had gone differently.
There is a smidgen of romance, but nothing overt.
It is important to note the story takes place in the early 1900's, Women were not allowed to vote.

I liked Judy's views on life especially when she says "Most people don't live; they race"Entertaining and witty
