Features: This is an adult fairy tale of love and miracles. It has always been believed that the value of the petite class lies in the fact that they still possess many dreams, and adult fairy tales are exactly the place to realize dreams and take flight with imagination. Moreover, this classic masterpiece, now available in a bilingual Chinese-English version, is even more remarkable. "A girl named Judy, raised in an orphanage, is sent to college by a mysterious figure she had once glimpsed in the reflection on the wall, her silhouette elongated by car headlights. Her extraordinary journey begins without any psychological preparation. As Judy gradually realizes that her monthly letters will never receive a reply, she starts to have a touch of youthful complaining and disdain towards Uncle Long Legs. The rebellious seeds she had nurtured in the orphanage begin to stir again." Such a book, blending love, kindness, and many forms of true love, is truly worth savoring, or you could simply take yourself as the protagonist and play a game of "let's pretend." As long as there is a dream, why not? —Recommended by Beijing Entertainment Weekly
