The owner of the long shadow

There is an exceptional attraction in the stories in which orphans take on the heroism because it is true heroism when you go out into the world and face it with an open chest without a social system working to support and protect you. It seems logical if we remember more childhood stories that left their marks in our hearts: Heidi, Annie, Tarzan, Sarah, or Sally, Oliver Twist, Tom Sawyer, and even Harry Potter. These are the heroes through whom we learn to love life and truly belong to the world, as Judy Abbott expressed. This novel was written in 1912 and since then has been a source of inspiration for readers, writers, and artists alike. It has been repeatedly adapted into theatrical and musical performances, films, series, and even animated series. This novel tells the adventure of Judy Abbott who left the orphanage because one of the guardians decided to take care of her education after noticing her exceptional talent in writing, especially humorous writing, and her insistence on happiness as a choice in life, not a birthright.
