The Brown household is in turmoil, overrun by mischievous children who defy all attempts at discipline. Enter Nurse Matilda, a no-nonsense nanny with a magical touch. As she takes charge, the children face unexpected challenges that could change their lives forever. Can Nurse Matilda bring order to chaos, or will the children prove too wild to tame? Discover the enchanting tale that inspired a beloved film, where magic and mischief collide in a battle of wills.

From the publisher

Mr. and Mrs. Brown were forever having trouble with their numerous and incredibly naughty children . . . until the day Nurse Matilda entered their lives.First published nearly fifty years ago, Nurse Matilda and its two companion books-Nurse Matilda Goes to Town and Nurse Matilda Goes to Hospital-have charmed readers ever since. Now the inspiration for the major motion picture Nanny McPhee, all three beloved books are available once again in a paperback omnibus edition which features the three complete and unabridged books by Christianna Brand, along with Edward Ardizzone’s charming black-and-white illustrations. This movie tie-in edition also features an eight-page color photo insert.
