Summary of Contents
Not quite part of the family and definitely an employee; idealised or demonised, the nanny has had a difficult role in family life over the past 200 years. This book weaves personal stories into the fascinating cultural history of the iconic British nanny. Katherine Holden goes beyond the myths to discover where our tradition of nannies came from and to explore the ways in which it has changed (or not) over the past century.
