Anne's terrible good nature, and other stories for children

"Anne's Terrible Good Nature" by E. V. Lucas is composed of short stories that center around Anne Wilbraham Bayes, whose well-meaning, although often misguided, nature puts her in funny and difficult spots. The author uses young Anne's experiences to talk about being kind, staying innocent, and how doing good things doesn't always turn out as planned. From the moment we meet her, Anne’s attempts to be nice cause problems, like when she plants flowers in winter, upsetting her mother because everything died. The book spins a yarn illustrating how Anne juggles her urge to help and the effects of her actions in humorous yet touching ways, promising more tales where her blunders create both laughter and meaningful moments.
