# Goody Two-Shoes

_A Facsimile Reproduction of the Edition of 1766_

By Anonymous.

"Goody Two-Shoes" by Anonymous is a children's story published in 1765. It tells the tale of Margery Meanwell, a poor orphan girl who possesses only one shoe until a gentleman's kindness changes her fortune. Her joy at having two complete shoes earns her the nickname Goody Two-Shoes. Through virtue and determination, she becomes a teacher and eventually marries well. This influential work helped establish children's literature as a genre and popularized the phrase "goody two-shoes" still used today. (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
