The first in the famous series about the best known nanny in children’s literature. Mary Poppins comes to the Banks’ household like a breath of fresh air (literally).

The Observer
“Absolutely alive, and aglint with magic.”
Walter de la Mare
P.L. Travers was born in Queensland, Australia. She was brought up in the deep country, simply, but traditionally. She began her writing career in Australia, publishing many poems, then came to England and wrote for newspapers in Ireland and England. She began Mary Poppins ‘out of the blue’. A friend saw the first few chapters and took it to a publisher who at once offered a contract for the whole book. The first Mary Poppins book was published in 1934 and was an immediate success. It was followed by another five books.
