A gay, tender love-story about 113 orphans and a dour young Scotch surgeon who had forgotten how to smile, and of Sallie McBride, of 'Daddy-Long-Legs' fame, who has a tremendous time teaching them how to laugh again.Sequel to Daddy Long-legs.

Jean Webster (pseudonym for Alice Jane Chandler Webster) was an American writer and author of many books including Daddy-Long-Legs and Dear Enemy. Her most well-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.
