Daddy-Long-Legs

Rating:	★★★★
Category:	Books
Genre:	Literature & Fiction
Author:	Jean Webster

A great classic from the turn of the 20th century. I've seen the Japanese cartoon version when I was younger, but can never really follow the plot back then.* Saw this as I was browsing through the shelves at Library@Orchard yesterday evening, and decided to borrow it. Finished it in under 4 hours. It's a really heartwarming tale.

Summary from the publisher's website:
"The unforgettable letters of a high-spirited orphan to 'Daddy-Long-Legs,' her anonymous benefactor. A trustee of the John Grier orphanage has offered to send Judy Abbott to college. The only requirements are that she must write to him every month, and that she can never know who he is. Judy's life at college is a whirlwind of friends, classes, parties, and a growing friendship with the handsome Jervis Pendleton. With so much happening in her life, Judy can scarcely stop writing! Complete and unabridged."
