Each movie is told in a linear story: a wealthy gentleman provides a trust fund to a schoolgirl to ensure her education, and based on a glimpse of his willowy shadow, she refers to her benefactor as “Daddy-Long-Legs”. It’s no wonder Fred Astaire starred in one of the movies!This book is written entirely in letters, and it’s no easy to feat to make a story like that entertaining and clear. It’s difficult to give proper motivations to the main character so that she includes every plot point in her letters, but Webster manages to do it. The benefactor’s one stipulation is that his protegee write him a letter once a month, and in those letters, he—and the readers—get to know all about the delightful protagonist as she grows and matures through her school years. She describes her friends, her feelings, her imagination of him, her appreciation and curiosity, and her overall sweetness. It’s pretty much impossible not to fall in love with her. This is a very darling book, so if you’ve never read it, get yourself a copy. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The musical version brought me here *by L***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2018* I wanted to read this book because I absolutely LOVE the musical version of this story. If you haven't listened to the musical and are planning on reading this, READ IT FIRST and then listen; I highly recommend both forms of the story (and the musical is a very true representation of the story), but the musical does give away a key plot point at the beginning that you don't learn until the end of the book (but it's kind of necessary to telling the story on stage).This is a sweet and charming story about an orphaned girl who has been given the opportunity to go to school through a donation from a rich man. She knows absolutely nothing about his, but must right him letters updating him on her progress in school. The story is told solely through this young woman's letters to her benefactor, so if you don't like that style of storytelling, this isn't the book for you.While this isn't the BEST book I've ever read, I had a very enjoyable time reading it; even though it's an older text, the language is surprisingly simple and easy to understand (sometimes with books from this era, the language can get the way of the storytelling). Overall, I would recommend this to my female friends and teenage girls-- not to say that men can't read this, or shouldn't, I just don't know how much they will get out of this piece.Overall, it's a very pleasant and easy read! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Charming story *by R***A on Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2021* Not too long ago I had two people in the same day that said they had just read this book and loved it. I'd seen the movie a long time ago which I didn't hate but also didn't totally love either. But two people in one day! I had to read it. Turns out I loved it too. Very charming story told through letters with just one POV out of necessity since the letter recipient never replies. Still we find out so much of the young woman's fun personality and even a little about her silent Daddy Long Legs. It would be fun to see what he thinks when he reads these letters. Does that happen in the movie? I can't remember. Anyway, the book is charming, funny and sweet. I loved it.No sex, language or violence --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.de/products/39530944-daddy-long-legs](https://www.desertcart.de/products/39530944-daddy-long-legs) --- *Product available on Desertcart Germany* *Store origin: DE* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
