<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The first four classic books about the beloved nanny Mary Poppins--who is practically perfect in every way--are now available in these specially refurbished editions that feature the charming original cover artwork by Mary Shepard.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>By P.L. Travers, the author featured in the major motion picture, <i>Saving Mr. Banks</i>. From the moment Mary Poppins arrives at Number Seventeen Cherry-Tree Lane, everyday life at the Banks house is forever changed. <p/> It all starts when Mary Poppins is blown by the east wind onto the doorstep of the Banks house. She becomes a <i>most</i> unusual nanny to Jane, Michael, and the twins. Who else but Mary Poppins can slide<i> up</i> banisters, pull an entire armchair out of an empty carpetbag, and make a dose of medicine taste like delicious lime-juice cordial? A day with Mary Poppins is a day of magic and make-believe come to life!<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>When Mary Poppins is about, her young charges can never tell where the real world merges into make-believe. Neither can the reader, and that is one of the hallmarks of good fantasy.--<i>The New York Times</i><br><br>
