This delightful sequel to Webster's Daddy Long-Legs centers on socialite Sallie McBride, who reluctantly agrees to become director of an orphan asylum.

Little Women itself “has been read as a romance or as a quest, or both. It has been read as a family drama that validates virtue over wealth.” Little Women has been read “as a means of escaping that life by women who knew its gender constraints only too well.” Alcott “combines many conventions of the sentimental novel with crucial ingredients of Romantic children's fiction, creating a new form of which Little Women is a unique model.”

Lord Elliott Mayfield sees the new generation of his family moving in the same direction of bad matches and scandalous relationships as the last. In hopes to change their course, he establishes a "marriage campaign" to motivate them to improve themselves through making respectable matches. Peter, Elliott's eldest nephew, thinks the entire idea is ridiculous. A widower with two young daughters, he simply needs a governess, not a wife.

My granddaughter loved it .. So I had to read
My granddaughter had told me about this great book she had just read. So knowing that the title had a familiar ring, I googled it. To my surprise it was the same book that one of my favorite Fred Astaire movies was based upon. I rewatched the movie on Netflix and then had Audible read me the book. It was great! Can't wait to have her watch the old movie!

Entertaining and witty
If you could sum up Daddy-Long-Legs in three words, what would they be?
Witty, clean, and a bit predictable.
What other book might you compare Daddy-Long-Legs to and why?
"The guernsey literary and potato peel pie society" because it is also witty and in letter form.
Which scene was your favorite?
I liked Judy's views on life especially when she says "Most people don't live; they race"

Gorgeous book!
If you could sum up Daddy-Long-Legs in three words, what would they be?
Wonderful, bright, heart-warming
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It made me laugh on pretty much every page (so to speak). I had so much admiration for the main character, Judy, I would highly recommend this book for both mother and daughter!

Would you listen to Daddy-Long-Legs again? Why?
I would definitely listen again. I read this book when I was in my teens and it was a great experience to hear it again. The reader was clear and had lots of expression - helping to bring it to life. I would recommend this book HIGHLY.
What other book might you compare Daddy-Long-Legs to, and why?
Little Women
Which character – as performed by Julia Whelan – was your favourite?
The person writing the book.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

This is perfect listening if you're in the mood for a book that both entertains and uplifts the spirits. And (unlike all too many of Audible's choices) the choice of narrator is perfect - enhancing, rather than detracting from the listening experience. Buy and enjoy!

Perfect narration
I read this book as a child about 20 years ago and it was a favourite for a long time. I still find it a really sweet and delightful story. I must say that the audible version is so beautifully enhanced by Julia Whelan's perfect narration. I'll most definitely check out other books narrated by her.
