4.0 out of 5 stars Another Great Thriller!, May 15, 2003
These Dolly books are hard to find, but worth the effort. This one is an extremely whimsical story about a very talented trained Nanny. Oh how we all would love to have a Maggie Bee Nanny looking after our children. Every time I read a new selection in this series, I can't help thinking how good they would be if done in film. The stories are fast-moving, funny with lots of suspense. The characters that are in each book are wonderful. In this one we encounter Eskimos, anthropologists, a millionaire toy manufacturer, and lots of wonderful children and babies - and of course the inimitable Johnson Johnson. We also travel all over the place - Winnipeg Canada in the dead of winter, New york and Yugoslavia. We also see more of Dolly in this series. For those in the know, Dolly is a 52 foot luxury yacht. These books are a lot of fun to read, and I will be sorry when I've read my way through them all.

2.0 out of 5 stars Dolly and the Nanny Bird, May 5, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Interesting diversion on Dorothy Dunnett's part, to her historical fiction, but for me not nearly as compelling,good,or wonderful as the historical novels Anthea Buchanan
