A review by hanjang
Mary Poppins by P.L. Travers

5.0

I was obsessed with the movie when I was a kid, and I regret waiting so long to finally read this. Not only are the book's plot and tone vastly different from the movie's, but the book's character of Mary Poppins is much more multi-faceted. The entire story is one magical adventure after another, and when Mary Poppins (spoiler alert!) leaves the Banks family at the end, it's as sad as waking up from the most wonderful dream.
