长腿叔叔:DADDY LONG LEGS(英文版)
简·韦伯斯特
This book, Jean Webster’s 1912 novel, is dedicated “To You.” Today It is often classified as children’s literature, but at the time it was part of a trend of “girl” or “college girl” books which featured young female protagonists dealing with posthigh-school concerns such as college, career, and marriage. These books predated the contemporary view of adolescence. An orphaned girl named Judy Abbott and an unknown, unseen benefactor who sends her to college and whom she refers to as “Daddy-Long-Legs” are the two principals in this immensely popular modern-day fairy tale. Told through Judy’s letters and illustrated by her own quaint drawings, DADDY-LONG-LEGS is a profound and tender homage to the power of awakening love. Webster herself adapted it into a stage play which debuted in 1914. In addition, it was adapted into a 1952 British stage musical comedy called Love from Judy, as well as films in 1919, 1931, 1935,1955.
