Just Patty Kindle Edition

“Just Patty” is a 1911 novel by American writer Jean Webster. Her sixth novel, it is a prequel to “When Patty Went to College” (1903) which chronicles the early years of the life of Patty Wyatt, an outgoing, lively girl with a distinctly individual character. “Jean Webster” is the pseudonym of Alice Jane Chandler Webster (1876 – 1916), an American writer who authored many well-known books including “Daddy-Long-Legs” and “Dear Enemy”. Her most famous works are often characterised by powerful, likeable young female main characters who experience a maturation and intellectual coming-of-age morally and socially. Including witty humour, snappy dialogue, and social commentary, her works are still read and enjoyed by readers today the world over. “Just Patty” constitutes a must-read for those who have read other books in the series, and is not to be missed by fans and collectors of Webster's wonderful work. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.

About the Author

Jean Webster (pseudonym for Alice Jane Chandler Webster, July 24, 1876 - June 11, 1916) was an American writer and author of many books including Daddy-Long-Legs and Dear Enemy. Her best-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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really funny read
Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2012
Verified Purchase
This is a really funny book, and I stayed up late to finish it. Not because it is suspenseful - it's not - but because I was enjoying it so much. Each chapter is a story, about Patty and her friends in high school at the turn of the century.
Because the book was written so long ago, you would think it is hard to read. It's really not true - it's very light reading. I was rereading it when my siblings ages 10 and 12 asked me for a bedtime story, so I shared Patty's stories. I didn't read them straight, but told over the basic plot. They loved it, although of course they couldn't get the full impact of the story, because I couldn't mimic the dialog, only plot.
This book is a totally clean, enjoyable read, good for anyone (reading level) 14+.

4.0 out of 5 stars Funny, cute stories from Jean webster
Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2020

This book made me remember the first time I read Little Women. I think it's more suited for young girls, but the writing is funny and entertaining, and the short stories made me laugh. It's an easy read and help to understand Jean Webster's universe of young girls, education for women, and social commentary she built in Daddy Long Legs and My Dear Enemy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jean Webster Amazes
Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2013

Maybe this is an old title, almost historical, but it was so well written and interesting that you could easily see the events in Patty's life in your minds eye. Jean Webster was one of my mother's favorite writers, and having read another of her books out of curiousity, I had to read more. It's well worth it. Patty charms, tests, and changes you. A very good read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Definitely not Jean Webster's best...
Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2016
Verified Purchase
I picked this up because I happened to come across the author's classic "Daddy Longlegs" and loved it. I was hoping for more of the same. Unfortunately, this book never really "comes together." When it opened, I was wondering if it was a sequel to some other book, as it seemed as if the characters had already been together having adventures. It's a loosely connected series of girl's-school adventures and pranks, mostly led by Patty. But one never really gets a feel for the characters, or WHY Patty gets involved in all these pranks. In one chapter Patty may have apparently good intentions; in another she doesn't seem to care what happens as a consequence of her actions. One never has any real reason to CARE about Patty or her friends. There's no sense of growth in the character (as is very evident in "Daddy Longlegs" and its sequel, "Dear Enemy"). So while I would still recommend the works of Jean Webster, this wouldn't be the place to start!

It was a very good book. I enjoyed all the accounts of Patty's mischievous spirit. An "innocent" girl at a boarding school with a penchant for trouble.

I've loved 'Daddy-long-legs' ever since I read it at 12 -- including its characters, the plot, and its sequel, 'Dear Enemy.' I had no clue that Webster had written other books that were almost as much fun until I came across this one as a Kindle e-book. A jolly good read!

An adorable book of a time gone by, packed with cheeky but lovable and kindhearted characters. My mother had the paper copy, which I read as a pre-teen, and I was delighted to find it again, now in Kindle version.

4.0 out of 5 stars Charming old fashioned story
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 30, 2013

This a delightful old fashioned story but to be honest, not a patch on Daddy Long Legs or Dear Enemy. I thought it was going to be about Patty after going to college, but in fact it is about Patty in school. Worth a read.
