Главная героиня книги, Джеруша Эббот, выросла в приюте. В начале книги героине 17 лет, и все, что есть в обозримом будущем, - это забота о младших обитателях приюта. Однако один из попечителей заведения решает оплатить учебу Джеруши в колледже в другом городе. Благотворитель ставит два условия: Джеруша должна регулярно писать ему письма, подробно рассказывая о своей жизни в колледже, и никогда не пытаться узнать имя своего благодетеля. Выполнит ли Джеруша оба условия, несмотря на студенческую жизнь, полную приключений? Не наскучат ли ее письма попечителю? Не обидится ли он на прозвище "Длинноногий дядюшка", которое дала ему девушка? Почему он решил заботиться о сироте и почему он почти никогда не отвечает на письма? Ответы на вопросы вы найдете в книге американской писательницы Джин Уэбстер, внучатой племянницы Марка Твена. Получите удовольствие от забавных приключений и живого, яркого языка героини книги.

Children's Book of the Week in The Sunday Times, The Times and The Observer.
Meet a determined dad with a big imagination in Daddy Long Legs. With its warm, reassuring feel and the adorably drawn relationship between a father and his child, Nadine Brun-Cosme's moving story makes the perfect book for Father's Day and beyond.
The car had trouble starting this morning. It gets Matty to nursery, but what if later it won't start at all . . . how will Dad pick him up? Matty is very worried.
But Dad soon puts Matty's fears to rest with a series of increasingly imaginative suggestions for alternative modes of transport - from a tractor to a dragon, a polar bear to a rowing boat. But, if all else fails, he'll come on foot . . . because to come and pick up Matty, Dad's legs will never be too tired.
Daddy Long Legs is a joyous book with bright, fresh and funny artwork from uniquely talented French illustrator Aurelie Guillerey, full of retro charm.
It's oddly moving, and the last double page - home sweet home - is the picture of warmth, safety and security that we all yearn for, whatever our age.
The Times
Lively, bright and funny, this is a great book for fond fathers to read aloud.
The Sunday Times
Surely a front-runner for the year's chicest picture book... with an eye-popping palette to rival Miffy

The oldest orphan at a dreary home for foundlings, Judy Abbott is about to go off to college -- a dream she's been able to realize with the help of a benefactor who insists on remaining anonymous. There's a catch, though: Judy has to write her unknown patron regularly about school activities, and it's to be one-sided correspondence because she is to expect no reply.Judy faithfully addresses her letters to Daddy-Long-Legs, a name she decides to use after having glimpsed the back of her tall, mysterious friend. At school, she hides her impoverished past from her arrogant classmate Julia, whose young, handsome, and rich uncle becomes a figure who sets Judy and readers alike wondering about the identity of her secret and immensely generous sponsor.
Presented in letter format, with dozens of messages to Daddy, this charming romantic novel of the early twentieth century -- written and delightfully illustrated by the author, who had an interest in the problems of the unfortunate -- inspired numerous popular motion pictures.

Charles Dickens' personal favourite, David Copperfield is full of tragedy and comedy in equal measure and remains one of the most enduring and popular of Dickens' novels. Abridged for Puffin Classics.

Based in part on the author's own life, David Copperfield is the epic story of a young man's journey of self-discovery - from an unhappy and impoverished childhood to his vocation as a successful novelist. Among the memorable cast of characters he encounters along the way are his brutal stepfather, Mr Murdstone; bubbly Nurse Peggotty; his brilliant, but unworthy schoolmate Steerforth, his eccentric aunt, Betsy Trotwood, the scheming clerk Uriah Heep, the enchanting Dora and the magnificent Mr Macawber - a character much like Dickens' own father.
