Dear Enemy is a sequel to Daddy Long Legs and they are both still in print as chldren's books (bound together).

By mixing the title and author, I can get a Touchstone for this: Seventeen Booth Tarkington. It's still in print, and available in an Amazon Kindle edition. I thought I saw this all over Indianapolis when I lived there, but never did read this.

I own Dear Enemy -- I still like it and reread it from time to time. I was surprised to see the H.G Wells -- it's one I've never heard of.

Booth Tarkington is another popular author, once in the canon, now faded away. Fitzgerald was a great fan.
The Magnificent Ambersons was popular and was turned into a movie.
When A Man's A Man -- a provocative title.

I'm sorry, but I thought Just David by Eleanor H. Porter was so dreadful, so unbelievable. It was reissued not too many years ago, and I was given a copy as a gift, sigh.

My mother was a fan of Jean Webster so I was given both Daddy Long Legs and Dear Enemy: I didn't really enjoy either of them.

There are now 3 copies of the Real Adventure by Henry Kitchell Webster.

Dear Enemy is wonderful classic children's book. The characters are fun. The pace is fast. Running an orphanage is an interesting subject. I love having the author's sketches illustrate the letters. I took off a half of a star for the creepy eugenics.

The Real Adventure is up to 7 copies among LT people, and Dear Enemy now has 396. So there is quite a bit of growth going on. When Varielle and I were preparing these initial lists of bestsellers some 5 years ago, a lot of books had not been properly "combined" in LT. "Dear Enemy" is now available as a free Kindle Book, as well as a number of other books on this list (or a small charge).
