About this deal

There was no sign of the green-and-yellow Kite, but in its place danced a figure that seemed at once strange and familiar, a figure wearing a blue coat with silver buttons and a straw hat trimmed with daisies. Mary Poppins Comes Back is also unmarked, tight, square, and clean; but the green illustrated unclipped dust jacket, also in Mylar, is in several pieces. Anyway, I've noticed with the Mary Poppins books that sometimes the description is a bit lacking - but I don't see that as a flaw. In the stage musical he has a similar role, acting as a narrator and faraway friend of Mary and the Banks children.

I first read Mary Poppins when I was a kid, and I remembered her as vain and cross, but I was surprised to see just how vain and cross she really was - barely if ever seeming to smile or have a good word for anyone - yet always loved.Her presence would be a lot more formidable if Mary Poppins provided more of a contrast, but instead she's just another brand of unpleasant, and Mary Poppins only dismisses her (in the way only Mary Poppins can) because Miss Andrew offends her. He is a triplet, and his two brothers Herbert and Albert are also policeman, although according to him, they are completely different in personality. In the story, they are still children, and the twins John and Barbara are still around though possibly a bit older.

else contents clean, jacket with a couple of small chips/nicks to extremities, spine a little toned. Ellen is the maid and although she loves the children, she hates having to look after them when there is no nanny in the house. Evocatively read by the Oscar-winning star of the hit series The Crown Olivia Colman, this exquisite audio recording brings this classic story to life and is perfect for every family to share. The magic is still kind of fun to read in parts, but there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it (like, who IS Mary Poppins? Original songs and other aspects from the 1964 film were allowed to be incorporated into the production however.She accepts the job (agreeing to stay "till the wind changes"), and the children soon learn that their nanny, though stern, vain and usually cross, has a magical touch that makes her wonderful. In the books there are five Banks children: Jane (the eldest), Michael, fraternal twins John and Barbara, and Annabel.
