She’s quite vain (often admiring her own reflection), often snappish towards the children, and sometimes speaks in a very common way. She was born at some point, and has human-looking but rather odd relatives. Who Mary Poppins is, is quite clear she is Mary Poppins. Mary Poppins and the children interact, something quite extraordinary happens, and at the end of the chapter Mary Poppins pretends no such shenanigans took place. It reads more like a series of short stories that happen to have a narrative arc than a novel. This 1935 sequel to the beloved children’s classic is more of the same. Michael flies a kite, and somehow when the string is reeled in, Mary Poppins is at the other end! Banks sends the children to the park (fortunately right next door) to give herself a break. After a particularly difficult morning, Mrs. Nothing seems to work out right without Mary Poppins to ensure the correct outcome. It has been some time since Mary Poppins left the Banks family to fend for themselves. Book Review: Mary Poppins Comes Back by P.L.
