Review
“Like all great children’s classics, Mary Poppins is frightening and sad as well as magic and very funny”

Mary Poppins is the Good Fairy, whom we are all seeking”
Times Literary Supplement
Product Description
Reissue of this classic, magical book to tie in with the eagerly awaited West End musical, which is set to be a huge Christmas success. Produced by Cameron Mackintosh and Disney, written by Academy Award-winning writer Julian Fellowes.
This is the first book about Mary Poppins, familiar to anyone who has seen the film. Jane and Michael draw up their advertisement for a nanny, and Mary Poppins magically descends from the sky with her parrot-headed, talking umbrella. She slides happily up the banisters, and takes the children on the most extraordinary outings: to a fun fair inside a pavement picture; to visit Uncle Andrew who floats up to the ceiling when he laughs. Needless to say, the children are devastated when she leaves, but by then, with her strict but fair, no-nonsense attitude, she’s changed the lives of the family for ever.

The film with Julie Andrews is jolly good (despite Dick Van Dyke) but like most films, it is nothing to the book. Much darker than the film, more gothic, and much more magical - I am now 35 and have just bought myself a new copy to revisit this wonderful story - especially the sweetshop owner who snaps off her fingers to give to the children to eat! Can you imagine Disney allowing this?!

This book is amazing. After seeing the new Disney and Cameron Mackintosh version of this fantastic story five times now I can understand why P.L Travers didn't like the film version!
Her story writing reflects that of Mary Poppins herself, very prim and practically perfect in everyway.
This collection of Mary Poppins stories are amazing, not only only for children but for adults as well, no wonder this book and the stage show is a hit.
