| Summary | "Goody Two-Shoes" by Anonymous is a children's tale likely written in the mid-18th century. The story centers around the character of Margery, affectionately known as Goody Two-Shoes, who overcomes hardships and societal challenges to gain education and wisdom, which ultimately enrich her life and the lives of those around her. Through her journey, themes of virtue, kindness, and the importance of education are explored. The opening portion of the book introduces readers to Margery's life, detailing her tragic upbringing marked by the ruin of her father, forced into poverty due to the greed of local landlords. Following her parents' deaths, Margery and her brother find themselves destitute and abandoned, but they display remarkable resilience. With the kindness of a local clergyman and a wealthy gentleman, Margery receives shoes and begins her journey toward education. The text blends moral lessons with adventure, establishing a framework for Margery's growth, as she learns to read and eventually teaches others, showcasing her transformation from a girl with just one shoe into a symbol of goodness and knowledge. This sets the stage for a narrative rich in both social commentary and childhood morality lessons, appealing to both young readers and those interested in historical children's literature.
