The Wouldbegoods

Having been banished from the Blackheath mansion after a disastrous game of 'Jungle Book', the six Bastable children find all kinds of adventures to take up their time in the country.
After meeting the siblings, Denny and Daisy, the children group together to form a 'Society of Wouldbegoods' who seek to become better people by doing good deeds. However, nothing seems to go according to plan! Whether trying to erect a tombstone for a neighbour's son, or damming a river while playing Beavers, trouble is never far away in these hilarious stories that have been a favorite of children for over 100 years.
Don't miss the Bastable's other adventures in The Story of the Treasure Seekers, and The New Treasure Seekers, also from Living Book Press.
