Told entirely through Judy's delightfully candid letters to this unseen patron, the novel captures her transformation from a wide-eyed girl discovering the world of literature and ideas for the first time to a young woman awakening to independence, ambition, and love.\n\nJean Webster's masterwork is a triumph of voice and warmth, a novel that argues compellingly for the power of education and self-determination at a time when both were far from guaranteed for women. Webster's prose is brisk, witty, and deeply human, infused with a progressive spirit that feels surprisingly modern for a work first published in 1912. The identity of Daddy-Long-Legs may seem a delicious secret, but it is Judy's voice — curious, funny, and achingly real — that keeps readers turning pages long after the mystery is solved.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50948313481435,"sku":"2026200018308-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/72352834-0b3a-4f8a-91a6-6aef4b010d96.png?v=1793104522","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200018308-secondhand-daddy-long-legs","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
