Book Review: Daddy Long Legs
Summary: 5 Stars
I received my English mother's velvet covered copy of this lovely book given to her in 1921. It is perfect for reading to young girls, and through early teens. I love it each time I re-read it. A story of an orphanage girl, who sees only the long legs of a top-hatted donor as he leaves. Her good grades have chosen her for a paid education. The book consists of all the letters she writes to this stranger, (monthly letter required) and her life as she grows, and friends she meets. She always hopes he will contact her, and draws cartoons in her letters of what she thinks he looks like.
It's timeless, no sex, drugs, or rock and roll- a true story of life in England around the time of the Titanic (1912) when women had few options.
