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

3.0

There were some things about this book that I really loved and other things that I didn't but I can't really be fair to the book given that I read it after having viewed the Disney movie at least two dozen times. I couldn't help but compare the two by both plot and characters and Disney definitely creates a kinder and more likeable Mary Poppins (not to mention a much more frequently appearing Bert). But PL Travers is a wonderful writer and there are some stories in her books that don't occur in the movie at all that are definitely worth a read.
