Mary Poppins

Book • 1934
Mary Poppins, written by P.L.

Travers, is the first book in a series of eight children's novels.

The story begins when Mary Poppins is blown by the East wind to the Banks household at Number 17 Cherry Tree Lane, London, to care for the children Jane, Michael, and the infant twins John and Barbara.

Mary Poppins is a stern but magical nanny who takes the children on various fantastical adventures, including a tea party on the ceiling, a trip around the world, and visits to a zoo where animals walk free and humans are in cages.

Despite her strict demeanor, the children are fascinated by her magical abilities and are deeply attached to her.

When the wind changes direction, Mary Poppins leaves as mysteriously as she arrived, leaving behind a note promising to return one day.

The book is known for its unique blend of magic, adventure, and the enigmatic character of Mary Poppins.
