Goody Two-Shoes is a children's story. The story is the origin of the popular phrase "goody two-shoes," often used to describe an overly virtuous person. Goody Two-Shoes is a variation of the Cinderella story. The story was attributed to the Irish author Oliver Goldsmith, though this is disputed. Because Goldsmith frequently wrote for pay, and because of his copious fiction in essays (e.g. The Bee and Citizen of the World), the attribution to Goldsmith is plausible. The book has also been attributed to Newbery himself, and to Giles Jones, a friend of Newbery's. "Booksellers" (publishers) such as Newberry would frequently pay authors for anonymous work, and there can be no certain attribution.
