Mary Poppins

If I'd read this book as a child, I'd have returned it without reading it, denying the main character of this book is the real Mary Poppins. Mary, in this book, is a sharp nanny, and she's skinny and self-absorbed. Not what I think of as Mary Poppins at all.

There's no denying she's the source of the movie and plays, but you could have fooled me.
