*Daddy-Long-Legs* by Jean Webster is a charming and heartwarming coming-of-age novel told through a series of letters written by Jerusha "Judy" Abbott to her mysterious benefactor. The story begins at the John Grier Home, a bleak orphanage where Judy, an intelligent and imaginative young girl, has spent her entire life. Her fate changes dramatically when one of the orphanage's trustees, impressed by her writing talent, offers to send her to college on the condition that she write to him regularly without expecting any replies or learning his identity.

Judy affectionately nicknames her benefactor "Daddy-Long-Legs" after catching a glimpse of his tall shadow. Through her lively and insightful letters, she shares her experiences at college, her struggles to fit in with wealthy classmates, her academic triumphs, and her evolving views on life, love, and independence.

The novel’s blend of humor, romance, and social commentary reflects Jean Webster’s keen understanding of human nature and her advocacy for women's education and empowerment.

The mystery of "Daddy-Long-Legs" is eventually revealed in a heartwarming conclusion that affirms the transformative power of love, education, and personal growth. Judy’s journey from orphanage to adulthood, from dependence to independence, embodies the spirit of resilience and self-discovery. Webster’s engaging narrative style and Judy’s relatable voice have made *Daddy-Long-Legs* a beloved classic for generations of readers.
