Status Updates From Vuelve Mary Poppins (Mary P...

Like Michael, Jane has a “bad day” in “Bad Wednesday.” The reason is never fully explained. However Jane inadvertently finds her self in a sub fairyland which threatens to imprison her forever. Again, the stakes in this adventure seem higher than anything that was in the first book.

The second chapter, “Miss Andrew’s Lark,” introduces us to the former nanny of Mr. Banks who trembles from his memory. He calls her “A Holy Terror” which Michael repeats when he meets her insulting her and causing her wrath to fall on Mary. When she arrives with a mountain of luggage to stay with them. Mary Poppins takes the most direct stance against any adult depicted thus far.

I love this book so far!

The return of Mary Poppins involves a kite and ties in with the Cisney film’s ending. Mr. Banks marching off to work with a hat polished like a shoe and announcing that he might go on a cruse rather than return Homs. Like all forces magical, Mary Poppins return has no explanation than her original exit. Magic is never explained.
