Vadertje Langbeen

Vadertje Langbeen

by Jean Webster

Jerusha Abbott, een jonge vrouw die in een weeshuis is opgegroeid, krijgt de kans om naar de universiteit te gaan dankzij een anonieme weldoener. Ze weet alleen dat hij 'Vadertje Langbeen' heet, een naam die ze heeft gegeven aan de man met lange benen wiens schaduw ze ooit glimpen heeft opgevangen. Jerusha schrijft elke maand brieven aan haar benefactor, vol verhalen over haar leven op de universiteit, haar vrienden en haar dromen. Door haar openhartige brieven groeit een band tussen Jerusha en haar mysterieuze weldoener, maar de vraag blijft of ze hem ooit zal ontmoeten en zijn identiteit zal onthullen.
