Nurse Matilda's first appearance in print was in an anthology of children's stories collected by Christianna Brand:My mom loved Nurse Matilda when she was little, and technically the copy I read was one that she found years ago once they started printing it again and she recognized it as her much beloved book. It goes along well with my current fascination with the UK, and my overall love of old fashioned children's stories. Christianna Brand (December 17, 1907 - March 11, 1988) was a crime writer and children's author. Brand also wrote under the pseudonyms Mary Ann Ashe, Annabel Jones, Mary Roland, and China Thomson. The Nurse Matilda books were written by the British children's author Christianna Brand (1907–1988) and illustrated by her cousin, Edward Ardizzone. The books are based on stories told to the cousins by their great-grandfather. [1]

The family is financially supported by Cedric's late wife's domineering and short-sighted great-aunt Lady Adelaide Stitch, who demands custody over one of the children. She first wants second-youngest daughter Chrissie, but Evangeline volunteers to go and Adelaide agrees, assuming she is one of the daughters. She also threatens to reduce the family to poverty unless Cedric remarries within the month. a b c d e "Nanny McPhee (2005)". British Film Institute. Archived from the original on 21 March 2017 .

Also, the ending of each novel was tedious and repetitive, basically a repeat dream sequence that only altered in details and not in the actual premise. The illustrations aren’t particularly noteworthy either, featuring crude line drawings more suitable to uncritical pre-teens. Appropriate, since they would seem to be the main readers for this type of book. The books were later adapted for the films Nanny McPhee (2005) and Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang (2010). In the first motion picture there are only seven children, and Nurse Matilda is renamed Nanny McPhee – her first name is not mentioned.

The sequel Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang (2010) is loosely based on the trilogy of Nurse Matilda books. The film does not closely follow the plot of the trilogy, but several individual scenes are derived from the three books. Emma Thompson started to write the script, based on Brand's books, in the spring of 2007. urn:oclc:record:1392385724 Foldoutcount 0 Identifier nannymcpheecolle0000bran Identifier-ark ark:/13960/s2mmkf3sfvp Invoice 1652 Isbn 0747578990 Ocr tesseract 5.3.0-1-gd3a4 Ocr_detected_lang en Ocr_detected_lang_conf 1.0000 Ocr_detected_script Latin Ocr_detected_script_conf 0.9627 Ocr_module_version 0.0.18 Ocr_parameters -l eng Old_pallet IA406027 Openlibrary_edition Access-restricted-item true Addeddate 2023-02-01 06:14:48 Associated-names Ardizzone, Edward, 1900-1979; Brand, Christianna, 1907-1988.

In the second book, the children are sent to live with their domineering Great Aunt Adelaide in her London manor. In the third and final book, they are whisked away to the hospital following a prank that has gone wrong.

One day, Cedric discovers multiple references for a "Nanny McPhee" throughout the home. That same night during a storm, while the children cause havoc in the kitchen, Cedric opens the door to reveal a hideous woman, who introduces herself as Nanny McPhee. I read the Nurse Matilda books one morning because I was curious how they related to the movie Nanny McPhee. I expected something similar to Mary Poppins or the American Mrs. Piggle Wiggle. The first book does have at least a little overarching plot--Nurse Matilda comes to work for them, grows gradually less ugly as the children learn to change their behavior bit by bit, and then has to leave when they grow to love her. The children (of which there are an unknown number) have very inventive ways of being naughty that would probably make children today laugh, but many of which are so over the top as to be obnoxious. Every adult is idiotic and can easily be made to believe that a horse wearing a pink hat is one of the little girls, or that children eating jam are really cannibals, etc. There is quite a lot of language that will be lost on today's children (on today's adults, even), a few politcally incorrect references to "Red Indians", and the second two books mostly involve the children forgetting the lessons they learned, pulling very similar schenanigans, and Nurse Matilda changing from pretty to ugly seemingly every fifteen minutes.
