Daddy-Long-Legs by Jean Webster
5.0

This book made me happy! Since I am home for the week, I have decided to embark upon the re-reading of some of the books from my childhood (though I doubt I’ll get through many) and I’d forgotten quite how lovely this one is.

It is mostly a series of letters from an orphan, Jerusha Abbott, to her benefactor, Daddy Long Legs. I normally don’t like the style of letters (e.g. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society) but this is so exquisite and I’d love to read more of it.
