Nurse Matilda arrives at the household of the Brown family and becomes a nanny to the innumerable Brown children. The Brown children are 'exceedingly naughty' and frighten off many governesses in a wonderfully mischievous way—until Nurse Matilda comes.
She teaches the children to behave and deals with the fearsome and persnickety Great Aunt Adelaide Stitch. In the end the children become good and decent and Nurse Matilda leaves to attend another family of naughty children. However in the sequels the children revert back to their wicked ways and the distressed Mr. Brown have no other choice but to send for Nurse Matilda again.
In the second book, the children are sent to live with their domineering Great Aunt Adelaide in her London manor. In the third and final book, they are whisked away to hospital following a prank that had gone wrong.
