43 22 y separately published work icon Mary Poppins P. L. Travers , New York (City) : Reynal and Hitchcock , 1934 Z797048 1934 single work children's fiction children's fantasy

The first of P.L. Travers's novels about the magical nanny, Mary Poppins.

When Katie Nana, the much-tried nanny to the Banks family of 17 Cherry Tree Lane, finally storms out in a huff, the wind blows in Mary Poppins and her carpetbag. The Banks children find that Mary Poppins is stern, vain, and usually cross – but also has a touch of magic about her.
