| Summary | "Goody Two Shoes" by Anonymous is a children’s story written in the late 18th century. The book revolves around the life of Margery Meanwell, an orphaned girl who overcomes adversity through kindness, resourcefulness, and a desire to educate herself and others. It is a moral tale that emphasizes the value of good character and philanthropy. The story follows Margery from her childhood as a poor orphan, after the loss of her parents, through her transformation into a beloved figure in her village as "Little Goody Two Shoes." After receiving a pair of shoes, she gains confidence and begins teaching local children to read using her handmade alphabet sets. Margery's acts of bravery, like exposing robbers and helping animals in distress, earn her respect and ultimately lead her to become a schoolmistress. The tale concludes with her marrying Sir Charles Jones, reaffirming the story's themes of virtue and kindness, as Margery flourishes, helping others in her community throughout her life.
