Mr and Mrs Brown are always having great difficulty with their numerous and incredibly naughty children. They try all the agencies but the nurses, governesses and nannies never stay long with the Brown children. ‘The person you want is Nurse Matilda,’ they are told. And when Nurse Matilda does arrive very strange things begin to happen. 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. 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. This collection of stories from Christianna Brand is sure to charm and entertain all readers new and old.

there are a few boring bits were the story has trailed off and doesn't make sense, but otherwise this book is such an old and lovely tale which I would recommend to anyone who is up to the challenge. there is also a lot of tricky vocabulary. if anyone knows of accelerated reader ( AR ) and is on classic reader, like me, should read this book to get them started or to get them finished. this book has some typo mistakes to look out for just incase you are thinking what is this word?
