    Deceptively simple, utterly enchanting and not just for children
  

*by K***R on 15 February 2016*









  
  
    I down-loaded and re-read this beautiful book during a bout of insomnia to give myself a gentle read.  The epistolary style made it seem particularly attractive.  After all, I could break off at any point and go back to bed...  I discovered that actually one of the elements of this book that makes it particularly compelling is the fact that one can always read just one more letter!Although often regarded as a children's book, there is plenty for adults.  It is lovely to watch Judy grow in confidence both in her new surroundings and in her relationship with her patron, in addition to seeing her develop intellectually as time and her course progress.  Looking back on one's own college / university education also gives a different perspective to a childhood or teenage reading of the book.  I am delighted that I revisited it!At least one review comments that a lack of illustrations spoils the book. I agree that this would be the case, since they are an integral part of the letters in which they occur.  In my illustrated edition (clearly indicated as such) I found the line drawings and Judy's annotations were clear in the Kindle format.  As the reviews relate to the title rather than the specific edition, it is the one with the 'Daddy Long Legs' figure silhouetted against a fence.

    ive read Daddylonglegs at leat 4  times but lost my original 1920s copy

    I've read Daddylonglegs at least 4 times but I've mislaid my original 1920s copy so I downloaded a Kindle version and am most disappointed.  In the Kindle version you can't enjoy the drawings as they are not included.  Also the version I downloaded does not actually make sense. The words are in the wrong order.  It's illegible and unreadable.PS It's a beautiful little book which always soothes me when I'm sad.  The Kindle version has made me mad!

    Rag-to-riches story of an orphan
  

*by M***S on 25 February 2007*









  
  
    Pity the adopted or fostered child nowadays. Whenever refered to in the media, they are either criminals or overcome by mental health problems. It was not the case a hundered years ago! Jean Webster had a privleged upbringing but through her charity visits to the poor becomes convinced less well-off children could succeed in life. Heady stuff in 1912 so to illlustrate her point she writes Daddy-Long-Legs about Judy,a young orphan sent to college by a kindly but anonymous benefactor she calls Daddy-Long-Legs. Her letters to him are funny, moving and a great testimony both to a child's and a foundling's mind. It never wallows in self pity. As a mother of two adopted children, I don't really relate to the central message on how you can change the child's environment and if the child is bright enough it will flourish. The mental scars are too deep. I find myself incredulous (does Judy, such a friendly soul, really miss no-one from the orphanage after seventeen years). Nevertheless, I happily suspend disbelief because I personally love Judy (and the author's) optimism. It comes from the days when radical thinkers were confident that money alone could change things. It is the perfect book for an adopted or fostered adolescent as positive role models in the media nowadays are hard to find.
