Product Description

Product Description
Primrose, Cassian and Daisy Darling are very bad children. Papa Darling and Mrs Darling (the children's mum scarpered long ago) both know that child-rearing is a task best performed by experts, not parents. Unfortunately, the Darling family nannies never last long, for quite obvious reasons. Enter Nanny Petronella Fryer - Nanny Pete - in a Jag XJS. Nanny Pete is different. There’s the stubble for a start. And she lets them eat anything they want - no more burnt custard or lumpy porridge. They’re all about to embark on what can only be called a comic caper, which leads the little Darlings far from home on a cruiseship full of burglars - and ultimately to their own missing mum.

Since then, he has been a journalist, yachtsman and novelist and has written many successful thrillers for adults. He lives with his wife, children's author Karen Wallace, in Herefordshire. He is currently writing a second book about the horrible LITTLE DARLINGS.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nannys,burglars and Little horrors!, 19 Jan 2005
Have you ever heard of children called Little Darlings when they are actually the complete opposite? Because I hadn't until I read this book.This book is fantastic and the thing that drew me to it was the illustrations. My favorite character has to be Daisy she has got such a personality it is unbelievable.She is a expert at getting rid of nannys but while she is getting rid of them,with her brother and sister, she is turning into one!

This is a funny book full of child friendly burglars that are competing against each other to get a bear which is a valuable ornament. They have to collect all of the pieces for it to be complete.So who is going to get them first ?Read this exciting book to find out!

4.0 out of 5 stars I think this is a good book + I have met the author, 11 Oct 2006
I bought this book because the author came into our school. The book was funny, with a few boring parts.
Cassian, Primrose and Daisy are the Darling children. They are used to nannies. They are also used to getting rid of nannies. But when Nanny Petronella Fryer aka Nanny Pete comes along, it all changes and it all leads to finding out some great secrets, and having their house knocked down of course!!!!!!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great bedtime reading ..., 21 Mar 2009
First of all, I should confess that I am a grown-up. I first heard this on BBC Big Toe Books (read brilliantly by Lesley Joseph) and thought it was a great update on the E Nesbit-type children's adventure story. I bought a copy of the book for a young friend of mine - always a risk to buy a loved book for someone else as they might hate it. Anyway, she and her mum are reading it together as a bedtime story and they are both really enjoying it. It's well-written with enough jokes to keep the adult amused and it's a cracking story about some really BAD children.
