Judy Abbott in My Daddy Long Legs

Her parents died when she was still a baby. She grew up in an orphanage since she can remember. When she was delivered to the orphanage, she had no name. That’s why the orphanage officials chose a name for her from the tombstone that was nearby.

These are parts of Judy Abbott’s enduring story that bring back our childhood memories. Judy’s story begins when she was seventeen years old. When she passed childhood and entered adolescence.

Judy gradually grew up during the story, and the story finally ended in her youth and at the time of her marriage. This story is based on a rags to riches story.

Judy was an orphan girl with the support of her anonymous sponsor whom Judy knew as “John Smith”. She could now go to high school. She had only seen his shadow once. And because of his long shadow, he was called “Daddy Long Legs“. She wrote a letter to him every month. In the end, despite the big age difference, they got married.
