Status Updates From Mary Poppins

Of course I saw the film as a child so comparisons must come. Sadly no hord of nannies to be blow away and Mary Poppins is blown in abruptly. Mary’s personality is a bit more fierce in the book. I love that Mrs. Banks is susceptible to cultural snobbery. Just tell her something is out of date (like references) and she abandons the concept,

The tone is delightful as Travers depicts a family that chose life over comfort. That Mr. Banks presents this to his wife is wonderful.
