Product Description The timeless story of Mary Poppins, the world's favorite nanny, and her magical adventures with the Banks family. Mary Poppins is like no other nanny the Banks children have ever seen. It all starts when their new nanny is blown by the east wind onto the doorstep of the Banks house, carrying a parrot-headed umbrella and a magic carpetbag. She becomes a most unusual nanny to Jane, Michael, and the twins. Who else but Mary Poppins can slide up banisters, pull an entire armchair out of an empty carpetbag, and make a dose of medicine taste like delicious lime-juice cordial? A day with Mary Poppins is a day of magic and make-believe come to life! Review ''When Mary Poppins is about, her young charges can never tell where the real world merges into make-believe. Neither can the reader, and that is one of the hallmarks of good fantasy.'' --New York Times ''Delightful nonsense that defies an age boundary of appreciation.'' --Booklist ''Mary Poppins is likely the most exciting nanny England -- and the world -- has ever seen . . . The only disappointing aspect of this classic is that it doesn't go on forever!'' --Amazon.com, editorial review ''There is an extraordinary charm about these books . . . They are whimsical, sentimental, [and] also funny, imaginative, poetical, and genuinely creative.'' --New York Evening Post, praise for the series About the Author P. L.
