Mary Poppins Comes Back
Mary Poppins Comes Back | P. L. Travers
31 posts | 37 read | 12 to read
By P.L. Travers, the author featured in the upcoming movie Saving Mr. Banks. From the moment Mary Poppins arrives at Number Seventeen Cherry-Tree Lane, everyday life at the Banks house is forever changed. This classic series tells the story of the world's most beloved nanny, who brings enchantment and excitement with her everywhere she goes. Featuring the charming original cover art by Mary Shepard, these new editions are sure to delight readers of all ages. Pulled down from the clouds at the end of a kite string, Mary Poppins is back. In Marys 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. Surprises are sure to pop up when Mary Poppins is around!

This was the second book in the Mary Poppins series, and I have to say overall it was a delightful read. Each chapter really stood alone as it‘s own story, although there were some repeat of characters in the book, as well as some return of characters from the first film. This really does give you a bit of a different feel to the character of Mary Poppins to the original film. I look forward to continuing with the magical series.

Andrew65 @Crazeedi That could well be worth a bit if money! It was a surprisingly good read. 4y
Crazeedi @Andrew65 she searched it quite some time, I posted pic one time on here of it and another Mary Poppins first edition she found. They are special 4y
Andrew65 @Crazeedi They will certainly be special. 4y

I started reading Mary Poppins Comes Back after watching Mary Poppins Returns. I'd heard so many people talking about how different the films was, but I was surprised how much they actually used.
I love how Mary Poppins is quite mean. She almost makes people think they're losing their minds by telling them all the magic things didn't happen.

I would definitely recommend reading the book for anyone who needs a bit of magic in their lives.

NaomiO I can't wait to read these books. 5y

Saw the new Mary Poppins Returns movie today. Started my new year off practically perfect in every way! I love the original movie and you can‘t touch it, but this sequel really keeps true to the spirit of the original. The casting, the storyline, the music, and the animation are all a nod to the Disney classic. And I love the song “A Cover Is Not the Book”! My book nerdy heart and inner child were so touched. ❤️💙❤️

When I was very little my father bought stories on cassette - including all of the Mary Poppins Stories. I also took them out of the library. They were beyond beloved to me, and of course I bought them when I had children as well as downloaded from audible. I was nervous about the movie, but to be honest- it was practically perfect in every way. ❤️❤️❤️

Crazeedi I have 2 of these original editions, just not the first one 5y
Chrissyreadit @Crazeedi I may be a little jealous. This is the cover I remember from the library. 5y
Crazeedi @Chrissyreadit yes the covers look like this. I must look on my shelf and post the pics tomorrow 5y

mcipher It was great, wasn‘t it!? I was also nervous but ended up being enchanted. 5y
Chrissyreadit @mcipher yes- enchanted is a great word for it. Emily Blunt was amazing and a perfect choice to follow Julie Andrews footsteps. I could not love Lin Manuel Miranda or Dick Van Dycke more. 5y
TNbookworm My daughter, who is 21, and I both loved it❤ 5y
Gissy I loved the movie too but the first one is my favorite. 5y

Nothing can ever replace the original but this was very well done. So well, I saw it twice this week.

Book #2 in the series... I think I have book #3 waiting on my shelf, but I‘ll have to put the others on my Christmas list, I guess. This one seemed to align itself pretty well with the first book, only Mary Poppins seems even sassier. ♥️

Finished this buddyread #marybuddyread.

I really loved the second book, after the first one disappointed me. The story is so far away from the movie, that I can't compare those two.

Looking forward to part three tomorrow @ju.ca.no

ju.ca.no I think so too! Can‘t wait for part 3 :) 6y

Final Day of Book 2 for our #MaryBuddyRead @Sarah83 what do you think about todays chapters and the book in general?😊

#OnebookOneword @Cathythoughts congrats to your achievement 🎉 one word I‘m associating with this book (even though it‘s not in it but only in the movie) is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious 😁

ju.ca.no I‘m not certain, but I think there was also a sweetsshop in the Park in the Musical Version🤔 6y
ju.ca.no I think I‘m liking the second book better than the first, it is so far away from the movie that I can‘t really compare them and Mary Poppins seems a bit less cross and vain (or at least not that often), and the stories are really cute! A bit like a fairytale collection 😍 @Sarah83 6y
Cathythoughts That is brilliant 👍🏻you are in. 🎩 6y
ju.ca.no @Cathythoughts hooray, thank you😘 and in general, thank you for this fun giveaway 🤗 6y
ju.ca.no The Story about Spring was really sweet, and I love how the adventures/tales pick up things from the conversations of the kids, like Michael asking about the children of Noah and then meeting the eldest daughter!
The last story finally resembled the movie again, I think it‘s the first time we learn that the match man‘s name is Bert and the Merry-go-round appears as well😊 I also thought the ending was a really sweet one 😊 @Sarah83

While I was not a big fan of the book, I am excited (and slightly scared due to my love of the original). #page2screen #bookadaptation

AmyG I hope this is good. I am excited to see it. I will have to drag a girlfriend with me. 🤣 6y
ju.ca.no I‘ve seen the trailer today as well, I‘m not sure how to feel about it🙈 I loved the movie and am currently reading the books, so the new movie has a lot of high expectations to live up to 😅 I think it looks rather dark, compared to the other works... 6y
Kaylamburson I hated the original book, but loved the movie. I hope this can live up to it, too! It had a bit of a dark feel to it though. 6y

ju.ca.no @Sarah83 I really like how the movie is picking up themes from this book as well, like the kite- it is very different from the movie but you still get the reference! And while Miss Andrew was not in the movie- she did appear in the Musical version I watched a few years ago😊 6y
Sarah83 I liked the first two chapters pretty much. Thinking of Miss Andrew in a birdcage made me laugh. 😉 6y
