Synopsis

Pulled down from the clouds at the end of a kite string, Mary Poppins is back. In Mary's care, the Banks children meet the King of the Castle and the Dirty Rascal, visit the upside-down world of Mr. Turvy and his bride, Miss Topsy, and spend a breathless afternoon above the park, dangling from a clutch of balloons.

About this title

Review:

"There is an extraordinary charm about these books . . . They are whimsical, sentimental [and] also funny, imaginative, poetical and genuinely creative."--The New York Evening Post

From the Back Cover:

On sailed the curious figure, its feet neatly clearing the tops of the trees. Jane and Michael could see the face now, and the well-known features – coal-black hair, bright blue eyes and nose turned upwards like the nose of a Dutch doll. The figure drifted down between the lime trees and alighted primly upon the grass. "Mary Poppins, Mary Poppins!" they cried, and flung themselves upon her.

'This is the second book about Mary Poppins.'

"Absolutely alive, and aglint with magic."
Walter de la Mare

"Like all great children's classics, 'Mary Poppins' is frightening and sad as well as magic and very funny."
Observer
