Nanny Mcphee: The Collected Tales Of Nurse Matilda

Product Information

The first book does have at least a little overarching plot--Nurse Matilda comes to work for them, grows gradually less ugly as the children learn to change their behavior bit by bit, and then has to leave when they grow to love her. Her Inspector Cockrill short stories and a previously unpublished Cockrill stage play were collected as The Spotted Cat and Other Mysteries from inspector Cockrill's Casebook, edited by Tony Medawar (2002). Having delighted generations of readers since their first publication in the sixties, the books have now formed the inspiration for the newly-released and fabulous Nanny McPhee, written and adapted for the big screen by Emma Thompson who stars as Nanny McPhee opposite Colin Firth as Mr Brown.

Brought together in one volume are the three remarkable tales of Nurse Matilda – Nurse Matilda, Nurse Matilda Goes to Town and Nurse Matilda Goes to Hospital.

The agency who supplies the nannies have sent 17 their way, only to have them all be more or less run out of the house by the children's bad behavior. The Nurse Matilda books were written by the British children's author Christianna Brand (1907–1988) and illustrated by her cousin, Edward Ardizzone.
