Publisher's Synopsis

The Wouldbegoods is a classic children's novel written by Edith Nesbit. The story follows a group of siblings who call themselves the ""Wouldbegoods"" and their misadventures during a summer spent in the countryside. The children are determined to be good and do good deeds, but their plans often go awry, leading to humorous and sometimes disastrous consequences. Along the way, they encounter a cast of eccentric characters, including a grumpy gardener, a mysterious gypsy, and a mischievous donkey. Despite their many mishaps, the Wouldbegoods learn valuable lessons about friendship, responsibility, and the importance of honesty. The novel is filled with Nesbit's trademark wit and charm, making it a beloved classic for both children and adults alike.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.
