I loved these books. Perfect for autumn and winter reading.

Daddy Long Legs was cute & interesting, but the love story at the end struck me as odd & unbelievable. Dear Enemy was a little better, definitely a better love story. The orphan care was interesting but very dated.

This review is just for Daddy Long-Legs. I haven't read Dear Enemy yet. I thought this was cute, and it's interesting thinking about the context of the time in which the book was written. I liked Judy - she is spunky and resilient. The book is told in letters, and this is not my favorite format, because we are limited in seeing the whole picture of what's going on.

I am currently rereading this book on audiobook. I've had this book for years - sometime when I was young my Dad picked up in the trash. I still have that much beloved original copy. I think what is most appealing about this is the simplicity and directness of the romance - it is sentimentalism at its best!!
