Once upon a time there was a huge family of children, and they were terribly, terribly naughty ...

So begins Nurse Matilda, the first of three books about the no-nonsense nanny who uses magic to rein in the mischievous children in her charge – and changes their lives forever.

Nurse Matilda visits the Brown children each time they begin to slip into their wicked ways, from chaos at home to a potentially disastrous trip to London and a suspect illness at the hospital.

But once she has sorted them out, Nurse Matilda must be on her way. For, 'When my children don't want me, but do need me: then I must stay. When they no longer need me, but they do want me: then I have to go.'

Now you can collect all three Nurse Matilda eBooks at once in this convenient bundle.

This eBook bundle contains:
Nurse Matilda
Nurse Matilda Goes to Town
Nurse Matilda Goes to Hospital
