I was so thrilled to see that the UCF CMC had this book on its shelves! It's an amazing read for anyone who is a fan of this groundbreaking musical. The full libretto has articles peppered in that show how this story was brought to the stage. Simply fantastic!
Those who know me are often surprised when I tell them I haven't read Mary Poppins, since the story is such a big part of my life. My knowledge comes exclusively from the Disney film, so I decided it was time to give it a go. Unfortunately, as soon as the titular character arrived, I was immediately put off. She keeps sniffing, and she is very stern with the children and their mother. I couldn't keep Julie Andrews's portrayal of her out of my mind
