DADDY-LONG-LEGS - JEAN WEBSTER TASCHENBUCH

Daddy-Long-Legs - Jerusha Judy Abbott was brought up at the John Grier Home  an old-fashioned
orphanage. At the age of 17  Judy is informed by the asylum's dour matron that one of the
trustees has offered to pay her way through college. Judy catches a glimpse of the shadow of
her benefactor from the back  and knows he is a tall long-legged man. Because of this  she
jokingly calls him Daddy-Long-Legs. She has an obligation to write him a monthly letter  but
she will never know his identity  she must address the letters to Mr. John Smith  and he never
will reply. The letters chronicles Judy's educational  personal  and social growth as she
attends a girl's college on the East Coast. Dear Enemy is the sequel to novel Daddy-Long-Legs
and follows the story of Sallie McBride  Judy Abbott's classmate and best friend in
Daddy-Long-Legs. Dear Enemy shows how Sallie McBride grows from a frivolous socialite to a
mature woman and an able executive. It also follows the development of Sallie's relationships
with Gordon Hallock  a wealthy politician  and Dr. Robin MacRae  the orphanage's physician  (to
whom Sallie addresses her letters: Dear Enemy). Both relationships are affected by Sallie's
initial reluctance to commit herself to her job  and by her gradual realization of how happy
the work makes her and how incomplete she'd feel without it.
