Synopsis

Second Edition of the Epistolary Novel DADDY LONG LEGS by Jean Webster, with original drawings in black and white by Iris Aspinall Priest.


PREFACE

Since I read "Daddy Long Legs" by Jean Webster during one of the summers of my secondary school years I followed in love with the story and this style of writing.

Recently, I had the chance to take care of a new edition of this epistolary novel and publish it. During the process, it came to my mind to add original illustrations to the book. I followed this idea and at the same time I gave a new opportunity to young illustrators. After a long review of all submitted profiles and works, I chose the illustrator Iris Priest who has perfectly answered to my desire to see one of my favourite story published with something special inside.

About Daddy-Long-Legs

Daddy Long-Legs is a 1912 epistolary novel by the American writer Jean Webster. It follows the protagonist, a young girl named Jerusha "Judy" Abbott, through her college years. She writes the letters to her benefactor, a rich man whom she has never seen.Jerusha Abbott brought up at the John Grier Home, an old-fashioned orphanage. The children were wholly dependent on charity and had to wear other people's cast-off clothes. Jerusha's unusual first name was selected by the matron off a gravestone (she hates it and uses "Judy" instead), while her surname was selected out of the phone book. At the age of 17, she finished her education and is at loose ends, still working in the dormitories at the institution where she was brought up.
