Daddy-Long-Legs

Title: Daddy-Long-Legs Author: Jean Webster Genre: Young Adult Fiction
Summary: From Amazon: "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 to 'Daddy-Long-Legs', or wondering who her mysterious benefactor is..."
Rating: A good classic Why I Like It: I first read this book as a teen-ager. I liked it then, but I liked it even more now as an adult. This was the first book I ever read written in letter form. I think it is a fun way to tell a story. Re-reading this as an adult I was struck by how funny it was. I think I missed the humor as a teenager b/c of being at the same time in life as the main character.
