1912. Webster was a grandniece of Mark Twain. She was interested in social work, especially the fields of childcare and prison reform, but her main occupation was writing. She wrote a number of short stories and novels for younger readers including her most famous work, Daddy- Long-Legs. In Daddy-Long-Legs Jerusha Abbot is an orphan with a wicked pen and penetrating insight. Lately of the John Grier Home for orphans, of which too little good cannot be said, Miss Abbott embarks upon a course of college study funded by an anonymous benefactor. This epistolary story contains her charming letters to her unknown Daddy-Long-Legs, named by Miss Abbott because only once at the orphanage did she see his shadow drawn out in the headlights of the car toward which he walked. The insight and wit in this little book are priceless. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
i'm going to pretend that all life is just a game which i must play as skilfully and fairly as i can. if i lose, i am going to shrug my shoulders and laugh -- also if i win. (查看原文)
The book is very sweet, really. Most people don't live; they just race. Love is desirable if you are on the way to be a good person. To Daddy Long Legs: many many loves, I'm glad I've ever know you.

喜欢Juresha Abbot的想法和观点。关于人生,关于学习,关于爱情。长腿叔叔真的好诱人啊。。。虽然看了豆瓣的第一篇影评,觉得长腿叔叔确实是处心积虑的制造一些东西。但是好吧,要骗就骗我一辈子吧,我还是佷愿意的,小女生情结又出来了Orz
