E. Morris Miller's Australian Literature from its Beginnings to 1935 (1940): 729 comments: 'His latest book, The Nun and the Bandit, 1935, descends close to melodrama, but the sensationalism is restrained by the objectivity of the language. The bandit, escaping from a murder, kidnaps a girl and takes her with a sister (the novice), to the sparse desert region of Western Australia, where his redemption is fulfilled. The characters are related symbolically to their environment.'

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.
