Mary Poppins: The Complete Collection by P.L. Travers

3.0

Review - I did enjoy these books but not actually as much as the film or the stage musical - I felt that Mary Poppins was far too aloof in the book and I couldn't understand why Jane and Michael were so enamoured of her. Too much of the book also felt to be taken up with Mary Poppins looking at herself. It seemed unnecessary. However, it has the magic which was injected into the film and onto the stage, and every time something magical happens you want to jump into the book and join the fun!
