Description
Three fantastic books of classic films are brought together in an exclusive ebook bind-up: 'Mary Poppins', 'Harriet the Spy' and 'Bugsy Malone'.
Mary Poppins
When the Banks family advertise for a nanny, Mary Poppins and her talking umbrella appear out of the sky, ready to take the children on extraordinary adventures. The original story of the world's most famous nanny, Mary Poppins, is a timeless classic that has enchanted generations.
Harriet the Spy
Harriet M. Welsch is a spy. In her notebook, she writes down everything she knows about everyone, even her classmates and her best friends. Then Harriet loses track of her notebook, and it ends up in the wrong hands. Before she can stop them, her friends have read the always truthful, sometimes awful things she's written about each of them. Will Harriet find a way to put her life and her friendships back together?
Bugsy Malone
In Prohibition-era New York City, Fat Sam runs one of the most popular speakeasies in town - but his rival Dandy Dan is trying to shut him down. It's up to the baby-faced Bugsy Malone to save the day... Packed with thrills and spills (and more than a few custard pies and splurge), this is a mobster story with a twist - the stars are kids!
