Gr 3–6—The tale that has captured the imaginations of generations of children and spawned a beloved and classic motion picture starring Julie Andrews as well as a dazzling Broadway musical, begins with the eponymous nanny blowing in to Number Seventeen to care for the Banks children just in the nick of time. From a tea party on the ceiling to riding on peppermint horses, rather unusual and surprising adventures await Jane and Michael whenever Mary Poppins pops in. This 80th anniversary edition includes the four original books, Mary Poppins (originally published 1934), Mary Poppins Comes Back (originally published 1935), Mary Poppins Opens the Door (original published 1943), and Mary Poppins in the Park (originally published 1952) grouped into one convenient volume. Beyond the handsome package—a rich brick red cover accented with black and gold spot-gloss decoration—the deeper gems of this edition are the extras. There's a foreword by Gregory Maguire, author of Wicked (HarperCollins, 1995) and Egg & Spoon (Candlewick, 2014), that relates the story of his nerve-wracking, but ultimately illuminating, meeting with the great P.L. Travers when she was in her nineties. Maguire accurately captures the difference between the silver screen versions and the original tales: "The books…show glimmers of a far more mysterious and even dangerous world. For thirty years before the nanny began to sing on the screen, she stalked the pages of these books with ferocity, vanity, and power." At the end there's a brief excerpt from a talk Travers gave at the Unversity of Connecticut in 1974 entitled "On Not Writing for Children." Librarians and students of children's literature would do well to think on Traver's reluctance to call herself a "children's book author," for, as she states, "every book is a message, and if children happen to receive and like it, they will appropriate it to themselves no matter what the author may say nor what label he gives himself." A must-have for diehard fans and, though a tad bulky for little hands, nevertheless an excellent addition to home, library, and school collections. P. L. Travers (1899–1996) was a drama critic, travel essayist, reviewer, lecturer, and the creator of Mary Poppins, as well as several other books for adults and children. Mary Shepard (1910–2000) was the daughter of Ernest Shepard, illustrator of the Winnie the Pooh books and The Wind in theWillows. Her illustration work on Mary Poppins books spanned fifty years.
Mary Poppins!! I was thrilled to see that this book had been returned to the original hardcover! I read this as a child and then saw the movie and remembered that they were not quite the same, but reading it again just reminded me how differently they were. After the movie 'Saving Mr. Banks' came out I was looking forward to re-reading the original Mary Poppins. Quite a different story than the one that Disney created, but a fun story to read nonetheless.This has a lot of great imaginative details, and different areas that were not covered in the movie. I don't want to give to much away, this is a quick read for an adult and would be fun to read along with your young one.I would suggest reading it first so you can plan ahead questions to ask your little one along the way; make it fun and see what they predict what would happen next.This was a wonderfully delightful book to read again and I can't wait till my little one is old enough so we can share in the magic of Mary Poppins!The best in the Mary Poppins series! I do believe that it is the best book in the Mary Poppins series which consists of six novels plus four more little books. Since it was originally intended to be the last book in the series, the author seems to feel settled about her characters and situations. Of course she deepens even more in the books that followed but when reading this title (or listening to it) consider that this was supposed to be the end of the series (and the final chapter is so moving indeed). My favourite chapter is "Happily Ever After" and one has to bear in mind that this was written during the Second World War, so the yearn for happiness and the reconciliation of the opposites one finds here is much more meaningful...Rosalyn Landor does the material justice. She reads the book with humour and warmth.Certainly worth buying/reading/listening to it!Mary Poppins Is A Mean Old Cow I never read Poppins as a child, and now I'm glad I escaped it. What a horrid, conceited, unpleasant piece of work she is. Just a thoroughly nasty cow. Maybe the little brats like her, but I certainly do not.
