The Nurse Matilda Collection cover

A beautiful new collection of the classic and timeless Nurse Matilda tales that inspired the film Nanny McPhee, starring Colin Firth and Emma Thompson – with glorious original illustrations by Edward Ardizzone

Once upon a time there was a huge family of children; and they were terribly, terribly naughty … So begin the tales of the no-nonsense Nurse Matilda who uses magic to tame the mischievous children in her charge – and who changes their lives forever. The inspiration for the much-loved film Nanny McPhee, starring Emma Thompson and Colin Firth, the Nurse Matilda stories overflow with naughtiness, wit and timeless humour, making this collection the perfect gift for mischief-makers both young and old! The collection contains all three instalments in the Nurse Matilda series, accompanied by Edward Ardizzone’s beautiful original illustrations:Nurse MatildaNurse Matilda Goes to TownNurse Matilda Goes to Hospital

Full of such inventive naughtiness – it may be better to keep these away from your children * Emma Thompson *
Just as some musicians are endowed with perfect pitch, Ardizzone had a perfect sense of tone * Shirley Hughes *
