Publishers Weekly
A handful of perenniel favorites, appropriately, make a comeback this spring. A new generation of fans are likely to welcome Christianna Brand's brassy nanny, sent to tend the "terribly, terribly naughty" children in the Brown clan, in Nurse Matilda: The Collected Tales, a reissue timed for the release of Emma Thompson's film adaptation next month, entitled Nanny McPhee. The trio of titles, which first appeared in the 1960s, includes: Nurse Matilda; Nurse Matilda Goes to Town; and Nurse Matilda Goes to Hospital. Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
