P. L. Travers

From the beginning Mary Poppins was a great exception. When she left the Banks family in that highly unconventional but characteristic manner, sailing over the housetops in the wake of her umbrella, it was well understood that she would come back one fine day.

Mary Poppins returns to the Banks family in a rocket and involves the Banks children in more magical adventures including those with Peppermint Horses, the Marble Boy, and the Cat that Looked at the King.

Mary Poppins leads the Banks children on one magical adventure after another.
