With wit and warmth and warts and all, the wonderfully talented writer and star of Nanny Mcphee, Emma Thompson recounts the story of the film, a story of one family’s summer with Nanny McPhee, a story of blackmail, tragedy and unexploded bombs.
What makes this book very different and much more interesting than the usual run of the mill film tie-ins is that alongside the story you’ll find Emma’s diary of the making of the film, which brings a delightful and unique perspective to this funny magical adventure.
Here’s a sneak peak of one of Emma’s diary entries:
‘Raining. Dark. It’s summer in England all right. We are doing what is known as weather cover. This is when you are supposed to be shooting something in glorious sunlight or even just plain old daylight and there turns out to be neither of those things available and you have to go indoors and shoot something else. It’s a bit like wet playtime. I rehearsed with the jackdaws this morning, which was bliss.’
