The Wouldbegoods

by Edith Nesbit


Description:  Further tales of the Bastable children – Oswald, Dora, Dickie, Alice, Noël and H.O. – whom the reader may know from Nesbit's The Treasure Seekers. The Bastables have moved to the Blackheath House and are becoming increasingly bored, when their cousins Daisy and Dennis come to visit. These cousins really don't know anything about how to play, and Oswald decides to teach them – beginning a series of misadventures that even a Society of Wouldbegoods can't resolve! Follow the Wouldbgoods' trials and tribulations through this occasionally infuriating, but quite jolly book.
