Judy takes this in her stride, but ditches his unoriginal alias of 'John Smith' in favour of 'Daddy Long-Legs' because she once saw his lanky, distorted shadow on a wall, and it reminded her of a spider. (I'm not sure if American daddy-long-legs' are the same as the Australian ones I know, but I'm guessing they must be similar.) 'Dear Daddy-Long-Legs' is how she begins every letter in this very cool epistolary novel. She manages to create quite a fond, one-sided relationship with this fellow whose long, skinny legs are the only thing she knows for certain about him.

Plot 17-year-old Jerusha Abbott is an orphan - an orphan living in the John Grier Home under the care of Mrs. Lippet, which just means that she is an orphan with more work to do. Her story begins on a Wednesday, when all the Trustees come to the Home to discuss important matters with Mrs. Lippet. Upon their departure, Jerusha finds that one of those Trustees (whose elongated shadow, looking like a daddy-long-legs, she saw) has taken it upon himself to send her, Jerusha Abbott, to college. His only stipulation is that she write letters to him monthly without expecting any reply.

Thus commences the letters from Jerusha "Judy" Abbott to the man she knows only as Daddy-Long-Legs.

As it sprang into motion and approached, head on for an instant, the glaring headlights threw his shadow sharply against the wall inside. The shadow pictured grotesquely elongated legs and arms that ran along the floor and up the wall of the corridor. It looked, for all the world, like a huge, wavering daddy-long-legs. 2351a5e196
