Summary: The Wouldbegoods follows the same six children from "The treasure Seekers", plus an additional two neighbor children (Denny and Daisy) who have been banished from their mansion after a disaster involving a water hose and expensive stuffed animals. Dora urges the children to mend their ways and form "The Society of the Wouldbegoods."

In this group, they look to perform good deeds, but there are two problems with their plans - They never go the way they are intended, and they do these good deeds for praise and glory and not because they are the right thing to do. Will they eventually realize that good deeds are their own reward, or will they just keep leaving a path of destruction wherever they go?

E. Nesbit writes with a timeless quality and presents the world as it is, which was a bold innovation for children's literature.

CHARACTERS

The six Bastables:

- Oswald, the narrator and the second oldest. In the first book he writes it both in third and first person and we are supposed to not know who it is. He reveals at the end that it was him all along. In this book he continues the disguise which annoyed me a bit - hello, you already told us who it was?
- Dora, the oldest who was told by her mother when she died to look after the little ones. This means she is often a bit prissy and goody-goody so she is right at the head of the Wouldbegood Society
- Dicky,
- Noel, a poet
- Alice, the only other girl. She is very DIY and won't let the boys leave her behind.
- H.O., the youngest.
The two children of the "robber" (see the Treasure Seekers) whom the Bastables call "white mice". The girl lives up to the name - at the start of the books she faints because of the Bastable's antics which begins the whole thing - but the boy is a lot more like the Bastables.
