Publisher's summary
Here is the timeless story of Mary Poppins, the world's favorite nanny, and her magical adventures with the Banks family.
Mary Poppins is like no other nanny the Banks children have ever seen. It all starts when their new nanny is blown by the east wind onto the doorstep of the Banks house, carrying a parrot-headed umbrella and a magic carpetbag. She becomes a most unusual nanny to Jane, Michael, and the twins. Who else but Mary Poppins can slide up 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!

Emmy was a good girl—too good, perhaps. The rat, whose cage sat on the counter next to Emmy’s desk, was not so good. On the other hand, he was the only one in Emmy’s class who would talk to her. The rest of the kids barely knew she existed. Even her teacher didn’t seem to know she was there! Only her nanny, the lovely-but-sinister Miss Barmy, really pays her much attention.

When Cora and her little sister, Mimi, are sent to stay with their great-aunt in the isolated village of Bryers Guerdon, they receive a less than warm welcome and are desperate to go back to London. But Auntie Ida’s life was devastated the last time two young girls were at Guerdon Hall, and now her nieces’ arrival has reawakened an evil that has lain in wait for years. A haunting voice in an empty room; a strange, scarred man lurking in the graveyard; mysterious words scrawled on the walls of the abandoned church ... all point to a horrifying truth that has held Bryers Guerdon in its grip for centuries.

When Pollyanna was published in 1913, it became an overnight success. It immediately sold over a million copies as young and old alike fell in love with the little freckled orphan girl and her spirited optimism. Many of Beldingsville’s citizens are ill, misguided, and even despairing. The sparkling, ingenuous 11-year-old who descends upon them with her "glad game" gives them renewed hope and changes their lives forever. Then unexpected tragedy strikes, and Pollyanna can no longer find the silver lining in any cloud.

Fun story. Well written. Narrated amazingly!
Any additional comments?
The only thing I knew about Mary Poppins was the Disney Movie featuring Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke. I have always enjoyed that telling of the story and am glad to learn that the original story is great as well. I look forward to listening to the rest of the series. Sophie Thompson did an excellent job narrating. She understands characters really well and gets their voices in a manner that is great entertainment. If she doesn't have tons of book narrations in her work history, then she is being greatly undervalued. Highly recommend this book. Highly recommend Sophie Thompson.

"Mary Poppins is a grouchy good witch" saidmyeldst
we listened to this in the car, and my kids were surprised at how stern Mary Poppins was. truthfully I was too. I had forgotten how different she is from the movies. still very enjoyable, but it something to be aware of.

Amazing Storytelling
The story was full of delightful surprises. I’ve seen the movie many times, but the Travers’ storytelling here is even more droll and imaginative. There are many mediocre audio book readings. This is not one of those. The voice is Poppins’ world personified. I will continue to enjoy this audio book again and again.

I still like the Disney version better.
I think Walt took out the things that should have been taken out and left in the things that made the movie version so amazing.
But, lots of people love it.

Kind of harsh
Marry Poppins herself was harsh, and a little vain, but was over all OK. The narration was hard to understand, but I got used to it.

Not best for listening
This is not the best book for mere listening. It’s difficult to follow because of some many different characters in dialogue. I will stick with watching this one!
