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 \u003ci\u003eA Spoonful of Sugar\u003c\/i\u003e, Britain's longest-serving nanny shares her endearing, amusing, and sometimes downright bizarre experiences turning generations of children into successful adults. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eNanny Brenda says: \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"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.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Little folk deserve a childhood that's full of fun.
