Synopses

Mary Poppins

The original story introduces Mary Poppins as she arrives to care for the Banks children after the family advertises for a nanny. Strict but fair, she takes Jane and Michael on extraordinary adventures, including a trip to a funfair inside a pavement picture. When the wind changes and she flies away, the children are devastated, but her magic remains with the family.

Mary Poppins Comes Back

Mary Poppins returns to Cherry Tree Lane in the second book of the original series, and adventures are sure to follow. Jane and Michael watch a curious figure drift down from the sky and recognise the well-known features of their remarkable nanny.

Mary Poppins in the Park

When the Banks children go to the park with Mary Poppins, strange, funny and unexpected things happen. The stories take place during all three of Mary Poppins’s visits to the family, and Jane and Michael are never quite sure whether what happens in the Park is a dream or not.

Mary Poppins Opens the Door

In the third book of the classic series, Jane and Michael see a tiny spark in the darkness that grows larger and brighter. As it comes closer, it takes on a shape that is both strange and familiar, revealing a curious figure in a black straw hat and a blue coat with silver buttons.

Mary Poppins in the Cherry Tree Lane and the House Next Door

Two slim volumes are published as one, with more stories about Mary Poppins. In Mary Poppins in Cherry Tree Lane, a supper picnic in the park becomes far more than the expected treat as the strangest people appear. In Mary Poppins and the House Next Door, Luti, a child living at No. 18 Cherry Tree Lane with Mr Banks’s much-feared elderly governess, longs for home, and Mary Poppins takes him and the Banks children on a trip to the Man-in-the-Moon.
