DADDY LONG LEGS BY JEAN WEBSTER: with original illustrations Paperback – July 31, 2021

Charming and modern for a book written 100 years ago. I don’t like books that are only letters or that even have letters, but this one won me over. I’m looking forward to reading another by this author.

One of my favorite books since childhood.

This was a delightful book, that was well written through letters which I found refreshing and fun! Jervie was a great character but easy to guess who he really was. Judy was at times naive and silly, but all in all a good read that I enjoyed.

This is a lovely book from my childhood—and from my mother’s childhood. It’s a sweet, spirited story of an orphan, Jerusha “Judy” Abbott, who is sent to college by an unknown trustee whom she nicknames Daddy Long Legs. Even as an adult, I enjoyed it! I heartily recommend this book!

You shouldn't be calling this a book! Any home made photo copies will make clearer print. The paper was bad, the letters were blurry Grey, each page has different ink level, the pictures are so unrecognizable as if you magnified a bad resolution image file-which seems to be the exact case!I returned it, and went with used book from penguin books with umbrella picture on the cover. I wanted all the original pictures, and the penguin book delivered it, in excellent printing condition. Hope this review helps.

I used this while teaching literature to myteenage granddaughters!
