Mary Poppins Gift Edition

From the moment Mary Poppins arrives at Number Seventeen Cherry-Tree Lane, everyday life at the Banks house is forever changed.

It all starts when Mary Poppins is blown by the east wind onto the doorstep of the Banks house. She becomes a most unusual nanny to Jane, Michael, and the twins.

Who else but Mary Poppins can slide up banisters, pull an entire armchair out of an empty carpetbag, and make a dose of medicine taste like delicious lime-juice cordial?

This gift edition pairs P. L. Travers’s story with Lauren Child’s charming illustrations in her signature collage style. Selectively abridged, it offers a family read-aloud or a first introduction to the magical nanny’s fantastical adventures.
