The Epistolary Novel DADDY LONG LEGS by Jean Webster, with original drawings in black and white by Iris Aspinall Priest. PREFACE Since I read "Daddy Long Legs" by Jean Webster during one of the summers of my secondary school years I followed in love with the story and this style of writing. Recently, I had the chance to take care of a new edition of this epistolary novel and publish it. During the process, it came to my mind to add original illustrations to the book. I followed this idea and at the same time I gave a new opportunity to young illustrators. After a long review of all submitted profiles and works, I chose the illustrator Iris Priest who has perfectly answered to my desire to see one of my favourite story published with something special inside.

Autorenporträt
Jean Webster (pseudonym for Alice Jane Chandler Webster 1876 - 1916) was an American writer and author of many books including Daddy-Long-Legs and Dear Enemy. Her best-known books feature lively and likeable young female protagonists who come of age intellectually, morally, and socially, but with enough humor, snappy dialogue, and gently biting social commentary to make her books palatable and enjoyable to contemporary readers.
