Daddy-Long-Legs

"The Long–Legged Uncle" is a very famous work by Jean Webster.
Who is he, the Long-Legged Uncle? A young college student saw him only once, from behind. He arranged for her to go to college on the condition that she would write letters to him without hope of an answer. And disappeared from her life…
Trying to solve the mystery of the Long-Legged Uncle, in fact, a teenage girl opens up the world and her own soul. This touching, humorous work leaves a feeling of freshness and warmth.
Webster's easy and accessible language makes the book attractive even for those who are just starting to learn English. James Joseph Webster (born 14 June 1925) is an Australian former politician.
