Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Goody Two Shoes" by Anonymous is a children's story published in 1765. The tale follows Margery Meanwell, a poor orphan girl with only one shoe, whose delight at receiving a complete pair earns her the nickname Goody Two-Shoes. Through virtue and determination, she becomes a teacher and eventually marries a wealthy widower. This influential work popularized the phrase "goody two-shoes" and is considered one of the earliest children's novels in English, notable for its female heroine in a realistic setting.
