I am so very pleased with this book! This is just the sort of sweet, simple story that made me fall in love with reading when I was a child. (Reminds me of Little Women and Anne of Green Gables.) The writing is so funny and charming! I came away with a lovely feeling of satisfaction, as though the story has fed something in my soul that I needed.
Of course, it is obvious from almost the beginning who "Daddy-Long-Legs" is, (no surprises there) but it is sweet watching Judy discover it for herself.

The philosophy of the writer made me really sad and even angry. Judy declares that she is a Socialist and doesn't seem to believe in God, but also thinks that women are not citizens since they aren't allowed to vote. (Typical beliefs of the time (1913), but upsetting to read about.) Then contrariwise, she asserts her independence when others try to control her. A puzzling inconsistent character, which makes for an interesting read!
