Long-legged Uncle. Dear Adversary

"Long-legged Uncle" and "Dear Adversary" are light, witty novels by Jean Webster (1876-1916), written in a distinctive epistolary form, where only the letters of the main heroines are presented to the reader. The authors of these letters possess a lively mind, natural humor, and inexhaustible optimism. It is these qualities that help them find their path to happiness. Even the most sullen and unsociable people around them transform, blossom, and, of course, fall in love. The soft, touching charm of Jean Webster's novels is the key to their immense popularity, which has not diminished over the years.
