"Mrs. Margery Teaches the Children to Read" is an illustration by the English artist Walter Crane, found within the pages of the children's book "Little Goody Two-Shoes," which itself is a variant of the story originally published in 1765 by John Newbery. The illustration depicts a scene from the story where the protagonist, Margery Meanwell, also known as Goody Two-Shoes, is shown in the act of educating a group of children. Walter Crane, known for his contributions to the development of children's literature during the late 19th century, was a prominent figure in the Arts and Crafts Movement and is celebrated for his distinct style that often incorporated elements of naturalism and social idealism.

In Crane's illustration, Mrs. Margery embodies the virtues of knowledge and benevolence, as she imparts literacy to the children around her. This image is emblematic of the Victorian era's emphasis on moral education and the role of literature in shaping the character of the young. The book "Little Goody Two-Shoes" itself is a didactic tale that promotes the values of virtue, hard work, and the transformative power of education.

Walter Crane's work in "Little Goody Two-Shoes" is notable for its intricate design and vibrant use of color, which were innovative at the time and contributed to the development of picture books as an art form. His illustrations were not merely complementary to the text; they were integral to the storytelling, enhancing the narrative and engaging the reader's imagination. "Mrs. Margery Teaches the Children to Read" is a fine example of Crane's artistic philosophy, where the visual and literary elements are seamlessly intertwined to educate and delight the Victorian child reader.
