Reader reviews for The Wouldbegoods

From the publisher

The Wouldbegoods is a children's novel written by Edith Nesbit. It was originally published in 1901 and is the sequel to Nesbit's popular book, The Treasure Seekers. The story follows the adventures of a group of siblings who call themselves the ""Wouldbegoods"" as they try to be good and improve their behavior. The children are sent to stay with their friend's aunt in the countryside, where they get into various mischievous situations and learn important lessons about honesty, responsibility, and kindness. Along the way, they encounter a cast of colorful characters, including a farmer, a gardener, and a group of gypsies. The Wouldbegoods is a charming and humorous tale that has been enjoyed by generations of children. It explores themes of friendship, family, and the importance of doing the right thing, even when it's difficult.Next day we made a Union Jack out of pocket-handkerchiefs and part of a red flannel petticoat of the White Mouse's, which she did not want just then, and some blue ribbon we got at the village shop.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

First line

Children are like jam: all very well in the proper place, but you can't stand them all over the shop-eh, what?
