Goody Two Shoes
Paperback
(McLoughlin Bros, New York July 6, 1897)
Very tall - Measures 13.5" tall by 7" wide. Heavy stock wraps and pages are cut at top "paper doll style" around the outline of Goody's head on front wrap. 14 pages of text and illustrations, including insides of front and back wraps. Staple bound. Charming didactic tale -- a different version of the classic "poor orphan makes good eventually" story. Origin of the phrase Goody Too Shoes--meaning an annoyingly virtuous person. Poor Margery: When her father Farmer Meanwell lost everything to Farmer Graspall and Sir Thomas Gripe, Margery was orphaned without even a pair of shoes. She learned to read and taught the other children. She became governess to Sir Charles Jones who married her. This anonymous tale sometimes is attributed to Sir Oliver Goldsmith. Hard to find collectible edition.
