CIP Info The incorrigible Brown children, who devour nannies, nurse-maids, and governesses, finally meet their match. This was a three book collection. I only had time for the first book. They are average at best. The movie Nanny McPhee was based off this series. It was ok, but I would recommend Mary Poppins or Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle. Because it was written in the 1960s it was a bit too long-winded. I think the Brand was trying to go for an early 1900s feel and missed slightly. I never saw the movie and I don’t plan on seeing the movie.
