A Spoonful of Sugar: a Nanny's Story
Brenda Ashford
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 A Spoonful of Sugar, Britain?s longest-serving nanny shares her endearing, amusing, and sometimes downright bizarre experiences turning generations of children into successful adults.
Nanny Brenda says:
?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.?
?Little folk deserve a childhood that?s full of fun. It?s the single most valuable lesson in my eyes.?
?Everyone knows you simply can?t retire from love. Children leave you; you don?t leave children. That?s the natural order of things.?
?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.?
