Mary Poppins has captivated audiences since blowing into the imagination of author P.L. Travers nearly 90 years ago. The no-nonsense nanny’s adventures are cataloged across seven books, including Mary Poppins (1934), Mary Poppins Comes Back (1935), and Mary Poppins Opens the Door (1943). Situated in the canon of
beloved children’s literature, the Mary Poppins stories draw upon the traditions of the myths and fairytales that the author cherished as a girl.
