"The Lady Daffodilia" is a children's short story written by Evelyn Sharp and published in 1900 by John Lane.

An ambiguous group termed “the people” “came and clapped her into prison” as they believed that she was at fault for the Prince’s absence.

The prison is an old and lonely castle where Lady Daffodilia occupies her time becoming an excellent gardener.

The prince meets a daddy-longlegs who tells him that with great patience, he will be able to grow long legs.

Throughout her career as a writer, she wrote for the Pall Mall Gazette, Atalanta, Daily Chronicle, and the Manchester Guardian.
