I have been searching for a book my great gandmother used to read to me. I was recently directed towards Enid Blyton's "A Book of Naughty Children" and from what I can tell it may be what I'm looking for! Due to the unpresadented times we are in I can't get a hold of a copy to dig any deeper. Can anyone tell me a little about the short story "The Greedy Little Girl"? I'm thinking that may be the story I remember, a girl who was very selfish but at the end of a story she sees a girl less fortunate who's doll was run over in the street and the selfish girl gave her a new doll proving she learned the lesson.
Thank you for anything in advance!

Welcome, Andrea. I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the story you describe. However, it's not 'The Greedy Little Girl' from A Book of Naughty Children as that's about a greedy girl called Janet who eats so much food at a pixie's party that she grows too fat to get out of the door.

Crumbs! If Anita doesn't know what chance have we mere mortals got!
Sounds like a good story, one I would like to search out too..
