Review ebook Mary Poppins

“I’ll stay till the wind changes,” she said. The naughty Banks siblings (having just ran off their previous nanny) are in for the surprise of a lifetime.

Their new nanny, Mary Poppins, is quite unlike anything they’ve ever seen. She slides up banisters, uses a compass to travel the world, talks to dogs and buys them gingerbread from stores that aren’t even there. In short, she’s perfect. “Mary Poppins,” he cried, “you’ll never leave us, will you?” Reading about Mary Poppins – nanny extraor “I’ll stay till the wind changes,” she said.

In short, she’s perfect. “Mary Poppins,” he cried, “you’ll never leave us, will you?” Reading about Mary Poppins – nanny extraordinaire – lead to quite the revelation. I feel like everything I have ever known has shifted.

Poppins is sassy, snarky and sarcastic. Honestly, I’m still reeling.

The movies portrays her as the epitome of grace, poise and control. Little did I know that her book version was quite different. Mary Poppins was very vain and liked to look her best. Indeed, she was quite sure that she never looked anything else. Book and movie version of her does have a few things in common. She still manages to effortlessly raise the children and take them on grand adventures. And (of course), we still have her infamous carpet-bag: “Nothing in it, did you say?” And with that she took out from the empty bag a starched white apron and tied it round her waist. Next she unpacked a large cake of Sunlight Soap, a toothbrush, a packet of hairpins, a bottle of scent, a small folding armchair and a box of throat lozenges. Maybe it’s because I’m so used to perfectly-perfect Poppins that when I read the book version, I was more than a little shocked. And I loved it.

I wish the movie version was truer to the book.

Nothing was more satisfying than when the kids served up sass, Poppins dished it back twice as hard.

Audiobook Comments
Read by Sophie Thompson – and she absolutely rocked this narration. It made the book so much better to listen to such an enthusiastic reader. I loved the way she adopted all the voices for the characters. Truly a joy!!
