《長腿叔叔》是茱露莎寫給資助人的書信合輯,特別饒富趣味,觸動人心。小說鮮明勾勒每個角色的獨特性格,尤其顯著刻畫茱露莎的聰明開朗。然而本書的真諦在於顯露良善、人性與眾生平等的價值。 As an orphan, Jerusha Abbott never thought she would receive a college education until an anonymous benefactor, whom Jerusha later nicknamed Daddy-Long-Legs for his tall, thin frame, came into her world. The novel Daddy-Long-Legs by Jean Webster is a collection of letters written by Jerusha to her benefactor, recording her transformation from a poor orphan into a bright, educated, and independent woman. It has received worldwide acclaim and continued to inspire readers ever since its publication.
