Unique Elements Author Biography A 2-book Collection of Celebrated Novels by Jean Webster Daddy-Long-Legs and Dear Enemy by US author Jean Webster are works of fiction first published in 1912 & 1915 in the US. A 2-book collection of Webster’s most beloved works. Excerpt ‘Dear Daddy-Long-Legs, Is it snowing where you are? All the world that I see from my tower is draped in white and the flakes are coming down as big as pop-corns. It’s late afternoon—the sun is just setting (a cold yellow colour) behind some colder violet hills, and I am up in my window seat using the last light to write to you. ‘ Synopsis Daddy-Long-Legs , an epistolary novel, follows the protagonist, Jerusha "Judy" Abbott, as she leaves an orphanage and is sent to college by an anonymous benefactor whom she has never met. The only stipulation for the funding of her education by this mysterious personage, whom she comically dubs “Daddy Long Legs” after seeing his long-legged shadow, is that she should write him a monthly letter, to which she should expect no response. Dear Enemy , the sequel, is also presented in a series of letters, this time written by Sallie McBride, Judy Abbott's classmate and best friend in Daddy-Long-Legs. Among the recipients of the letters are Judy; Jervis Pendleton, Judy's husband and the president of the orphanage where Sallie is filling in until a new superintendent can be installed; Gordon Hallock, a wealthy Congressman; and the orphanage's doctor, embittered Scotsman Robin 'Sandy' MacRae. A delightful edition bringing together these two beloved, classic works. Title Details ◆ Original 1912 & 1915 texts ◆ Classic Coming of Age Fiction ◆ 5 x 8 in ◆ Matte Cover ◆ Cream Paper
