Mary Poppins Comes Back by P L Travers
The Banks family acquire as nursemaid Mary Poppins, who refuses to give references, dictates her own terms of the job, and possesses certain surprising talents: she can slide up the banisters, walk into pictures and understand the speech of dogs. This is the second Mary Poppins book.“Like all great children’s classics Mary Poppins is frightening and sad as well as magic and very funny”
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.
