«Papa-Longues-Jambes» is the epistolary young-adult novel by Jean Webster, published by Gallimard Education in paperback (224 pages, in French).
Jerusha Abbott, an orphan raised in the John Grier Home, receives an unexpected opportunity: an anonymous benefactor funds her studies in exchange for a letter every month. In her letters, the young woman, who signs as Judy, recounts with humor and vitality her reading, friendships, and small achievements as she discovers the world and herself.
First installment of Jean Webster's Daddy-Long-Legs series; the work was originally published in 1912.
Recommended for readers aged 10 and up and for those who enjoy classic coming-of-age young-adult fiction.
Jean Webster was the pen name of Alice Jane Chandler Webster, an American author whose books include Daddy-Long-Legs and Dear Enemy. Her best-known books feature lively and likeable young female protagonists who come of age intellectually, morally, and socially, but with enough humor, snappy dialogue, and gently biting social commentary to make her books palatable and enjoyable to contemporary readers.
