What this book is about
When the east wind blows Mary Poppins to Number Seventeen Cherry Tree Lane, Jane and Michael Banks' world becomes extraordinary. She slides up banisters, takes tea on the ceiling, talks to her parrot-headed umbrella, and leads the children into impossible adventures: tea parties with laughing uncles who float in mid-air, a journey to the compass points of the world, and a visit to the birthday of the Park. Travers's original novel is darker and stranger than the famous film, with Mary more mysterious and unsentimental—a figure of genuine magic.
