New Releases by Emma Thompson

Nanny McPhee est tout sauf une gouvernante ordinaire. Un gros nez, une dent qui dépasse, un énorme poireau... Elle est laide à faire peur - ce qui somme toute peut l''aider à mater les garnements les plus récalcitrants dont elle a la charge. Et si cela ne suffit pas - cela suffit hélas rarement -, elle utilise alors ses pouvoirs magiques pour les faire rentrer dans le rang. Dans cette seconde aventure, Nanny McPhee vient en aide à une jeune mère dépassée par les événements, Isabel Green, qui tente de s''occuper à la fois de la ferme familiale - son mari est parti à la guerre - et de ses enfants.Sur place, Nanny McPhee découvre que les enfants d''Isabel (tous plus insupportables les uns que les autres) mènent une bataille acharnée contre leurs méchants cousins (eux aussi insupportables), qui viennent d''emménager dans le village.Entre motos volantes, cochon grimpant aux arbres et bébé éléphant qui apparaît n''importe où, Nanny McPhee va avoir fort à faire pour calmer tout ce petit monde !Du film dont elle est l''actrice vedette et la scénariste, Emma Thompson a tiré ce livre, à la fois roman et journal de bord du tournage.

Nanny McPhee can tame even the most unruly children with a tap of her magic walking stick. Her latest challenge is the bratty brood of a recent widower Mr. Brown. He is under pressure to find a new wife or lose his much-needed allowance from wealthy Aunt Adelaide. His love for scullery maid Evangeline remains unspoken as he wincingly woos the eagerly merry widow Mrs. Quickly, but Brown''s raucous rugrats have a plan to make things right, especially after they''ve come under the benevolent influence of Nanny McPhee, whose peculiar brand of discipline works wonders for everyone involved.
