Mary Poppins & Mary Poppins Comes Back by P.L. Travers357 Pages
While I was on vacation I saw the movie Mr Banks which was about the making of Mary Poppins by Disney and the author of the stories. Stories? I never knew it was a book first although I should have known better. This prompted me to check out and read the first 2 books of the series.
The movie is pretty true to the stories themselves although there are 2-3 extra children and Mary isn't quite so nice as Julie Andrews. Would kids today like the stories? Probably not since they've become a little dated and some of the playfulness wouldn't be understood. Has anyone else ever read these stories? What did you think?
