Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

From the moment Mary Poppins arrives at Number Seventeen Cherry-Tree Lane, everyday life at the Banks house is forever changed. This classic series tells the story of the world's most beloved nanny, who brings enchantment and excitement with her everywhere she goes. Featuring the charming original cover art by Mary Shepard, these new editions are sure to delight readers of all ages.

Mary Poppins reappears just in time! According to her tape measure, Jane and Michael have grown "Worse and Worse" since she went away. But the children won't have time to be naughty with all that Mary has planned for them. A visit to Mr. Twigleys music box-filled attic, an encounter with the Marble Boy, and a ride on Miss Calicos enchanted candy canes are all part of an average day out with everyone's favorite nanny.

Synopsis:

More magnificent adventures with Mary Poppins and the Banks children.
