<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Brenda Ashford was a real-life Mary Poppins. Caring for over one hundred children during her lifetime as a nanny, her charges ranged from the pampered sons and daughters of grand estates or the tough offspring of WWII evacuees in London's East End. Now, in <i>A Spoonful of Sugar</i>, Britain's longest-serving nanny shares her endearing, amusing, and sometimes downright bizarre experiences turning generations of children into successful adults. <p/><b>Nanny Brenda says: <br></b><br>"All mothers are quite brilliant in my eyes and nine times out of ten don't realize the sacrifices they undertake or the powerful contributions they make." <p/>"Little folk deserve a childhood that's full of fun. It's the single most valuable lesson in my eyes." <p/>"Everyone knows you simply can't retire from love. Children leave you; you don't leave children. That's the natural order of things." <p/>"I have puzzled many times over the ingredients for a perfect recipe for a happy home. It needs to be a place with parents who worship their offspring. Throw in some stability, a dash of routine, and respect." <br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>For anglophiles and <i>Downton Abbey</i> fans, a memoir of 62 years of nannying.<br><i><b>-</b>The New York Times <br></i><br>Ashford presents a delightful compilation of memories, child care tips and insights from a radically different time and place. . . .
