Umbrella in hand and carpet bag packed with impossible wonders, she sails into the nursery and promptly turns everyday routines into extraordinary escapades for Jane and Michael. P. L. Travers's beloved original novels, collected here in full, trace Mary Poppins's comings, goings, and comings-back across the rooftops and parks of a magical, old-fashioned London. Each volume stands on its own while building a richly imagined world where umbrellas fly, statues come to life, and a stern, vain, endlessly mysterious nanny makes the impossible feel like simply another Tuesday. First published decades ago and continuously in print ever since, these are the genuine source novels behind the beloved films and long-running stage musical, full of sharper edges and stranger magic than the gentler adaptations often suggest. This Collins Modern Classics box set presents the complete run of five paperback volumes in matching cover artwork, ideal to display proudly on a bookshelf or to be read start to finish as one sweeping family saga spanning several generations of Banks family adventures. Whether shared as a bedtime read-aloud or handed to a confident solo reader working through classic children's literature, this collection delivers the authentic Mary Poppins, spit-spot and all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete five-book paperback box set of all six original Mary Poppins stories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublished by HarperCollins in the Collins Modern Classics series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatching slipcase artwork, a beautiful giftable addition to any bookshelf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe genuine source material behind the famous film and stage musical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat for read-alouds or confident readers starting classic chapter books\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook-by-Book Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMary Poppins — The mysterious nanny blows in on the East Wind.\u003cbr\u003eMary Poppins Comes Back — She returns on the tail of a kite.\u003cbr\u003eMary Poppins Opens the Door — A firework brings her back again.\u003cbr\u003eMary Poppins in the Park — Further outings near Cherry-Tree Lane.\u003cbr\u003eMary Poppins in Cherry Tree Lane \/ Mary Poppins and the House Next Door — A 2-in-1 volume as new neighbors arrive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eP. L. Travers (1899-1996) was an Australian-born writer and journalist who created the character of Mary Poppins, first introduced to readers in 1934. Over the following decades she expanded the nanny's adventures across a series of novels, drawing on her own love of myth, folklore, and the strange logic of childhood imagination. Travers's creation went on to inspire the iconic Walt Disney film and a long-running stage musical, and her own fascinating life later became the subject of the movie Saving Mr. Banks. Her original novels remain treasured classics of children's literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy You'll Love This Collection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis complete paperback box set is a wonderful way to introduce young readers to the real Mary Poppins beyond the movies.
