Dec. 29th, 2013 12:38 pmSo, the great Mary Poppins re-read.
Do I need to say that if there can be spoilers, there will be? Mary Poppins arrives; she departs; in between, things happen. This holds true for more than the first book.
sartorias starts us off with a bit of throat-clearing. Even without going beyond the first few pages, she touches on two things that I wanted to talk about.

( The household )
( The children )
The blurb of my copy of Mary Poppins, which is the Puffin reissue with the film tie-in cover, says "Specially commended for mothers, and for children from seven to eleven." I am not convinced by this.
