I never read Mary Poppins as child, but we watched the Disney film a thousand times. And since Saving Mr. Banks is/will be released I thought I should probably pick up the classic book.
I have to say I was a little amazed to find Mary as I did. The book takes the proper English tone of Dahl and Lewis, but puts aside all of the morality. Mary is a self-professed vain woman, who can do mysterious magic, and has an issue with everyone. She is certainly not Julie Andrews. But still, the silliness of the book is encouraging.
