N2  - "Good Cheer Stories Every Child Should Know" by Asa Don Dickinson is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. This anthology presents a variety of uplifting tales suited for children, likely designed to impart moral lessons and cultural traditions, particularly regarding Thanksgiving. The stories celebrate virtues such as gratitude, kindness, and generosity, which are emphasized during the harvest festival.  The opening of this collection introduces the whimsical tale titled "The Kingdom of the Greedy." It depicts a kingdom ruled by a king whose subjects are obsessed with sweets, to the extent that they ignore all other food. A pastry cook named Mother Mitchel is summoned to create a massive tart to satisfy their appetites, leading to an extravagant and humorous story about gluttony and its consequences. The narrative sets a lighthearted tone that blends fantasy with moral teachings, showcasing a vibrant world filled with rich imagery and character-driven antics.
