A review by sidharthvardhan
Mary Poppins by P.L. Travers
3.0
Any good children's book comes with an innocence which (like all forms of Innocence) can't be put into words. Travers' Mary Poppkins comes with her spoonful of sugar has this this sort of innocence. Its beauty is not something you would decode (and later try to mass produce (like so much of YA fiction)but is more like that of a flower to be loved and not to analysed.
The book does make use of what looks like magic realism to keep attention of children but except for that the book is fully realistic - specially beautiful in the way it captures attention of Adullt-young relationship and the ability to see things from child's point of view. If you were a parent and wanted a book to read your kids, this one should be your first choice.
