Daddy Long Legs is by Jean Webster. A classic historical fiction epistolary novel. This wonderful story follows the adventures of Judy Abbott. Raised in an orphanage with no hope of a real future, Judy is summoned to the matron's office and told that one of the trustees has offered to send her to college. The only stipulation is that she must write him regularly in care of his secretary and she can never know who he is. Judy, based on a shadowy view of the man she suspects is her benefactor, begins to call him Daddy Long Legs. The story is told through the letters Judy writes to her mysterious guardian. A must read classic for all ages!
