This book is a great find and at only $.99 it’s more than worth the risk to discover what this author has to give to the audience. Hoping this is the beginning of many more to come – Carmichael
Good. Reminds me of Richard Starks Parker….only not as mean. Moves fast and well worth the 99 cents admission. I would recommend it, and I hope there’s more Caulder novels coming. – Shelly
Definitely a great read. Characters are believable, likable, and start to grow on you like your own family. If you got 99 cents buy it. I know it’s hard buying from new authors but it’s worth it. – “Citrustwist”

Daddy-Long-Legs by Jean Webster

“Daddy Long Legs” is a 1912 epistolary novel by American writer Jean Webster. Whether or not you like a novel told through letters (and sometimes diaries and bits of written detritis), this is a wonderful book. I read it several times as a teenager and found it to be a magical tale of growing up and falling in love.
It is the story of an orphan who has a guardian who chooses to keep his identity secret, but who befriends her and pays for a quality education. You may remember the beautiful Fred Astaire movie with Leslie Caron. The book is more than satisfying!
‘Sit down, Jerusha, I have something to say to you.’ Jerusha dropped into the nearest chair and waited with a touch of breathlessness.
An automobile flashed past the window; Mrs. Lippett glanced after it.
‘Did you notice the gentleman who has just gone?’ ‘I saw his back.’ ‘He is one of our most affluential Trustees, and has given large sums of money towards the asylum’s support. I am not at liberty to mention his name; he expressly stipulated that he was to remain unknown.’
Jerusha’s eyes widened slightly; she was not accustomed to being summoned to the office to discuss the eccentricities of Trustees with the matron.
It gets better, she is going to be sent to college to become . . . a writer! And so the form is set and the rest of the book continues in letters:
. . .three things that I know:
I. You are tall.
II. You are rich
III. You hate girls.
I suppose I might call you Dear Mr. Girl-Hater. Only that’s rather insulting to me. Or Dear Mr. Rich-Man, but that’s insulting to you, as though money were the only important thing about you. Besides, being rich is such a very external quality. Maybe you won’t stay rich all your life; lots of very clever men get smashed up in Wall Street. But at least you will stay tall all your life! So I’ve decided to call you Dear Daddy-Long-Legs. I hope you won’t mind.
And so it goes! This is a short novel and a great summer read!
