The Wouldbegoods is E. Nesbit's lively and humorous tale of childhood misadventure and well-intentioned reform.

Presented as the retrospective account of Dora Bastable, the novel follows a group of siblings determined to become morally exemplary after encountering a book of improving stories. Their attempts at charity, enterprise, and ethical conduct, however, lead to a series of unintended disasters. Nesbit balances affectionate satire with genuine sympathy, capturing the earnest logic and imaginative improvisation of children at play.
