Summary
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.

Old favourite
I read this as a teenager and loved it. It was fantastic to revisit it, and the narrator was excellent. Thoroughly recommended feel-good story.

Perfect feel-good book
This is perfect listening if you're in the mood for a book that both entertains and uplifts the spirits. And (unlike all too many of Audible's choices) the choice of narrator is perfect - enhancing, rather than detracting from the listening experience. Buy and enjoy!

A Childhood Favourite!
I really love the character development and narrative structure despite the fact that the story is entirely told through one person's letters.

Gorgeous book!
If you could sum up Daddy-Long-Legs in three words, what would they be?
Wonderful, bright, heart-warming
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It made me laugh on pretty much every page (so to speak). I had so much admiration for the main character, Judy, I would highly recommend this book for both mother and daughter!
