*** 4.5 Stars
This book is unique, charming and wins you over instantly. If the age of this book makes you nervous(it was written in 1912), don't worry. It is easy to understand and still very relate able to today.
The book's heroine Jerusha "Judy" Abbott is a witty, clever orphan living in a horrible asylum. She is expressive and enjoyable, but stifled by her situation. Then, a mysterious benefactor decides to send her to college to become a writer, with the requirement that she must write him letters in order to hone her skills. She does, and what follows is a book of entirely "letters for Daddy Long Legs", full of Judy's whims and every excited thought. Judy will entrance you immediately.
This book is funny, romantic and a classic. I felt cultured just reading it. :)
