Product Description [Library Edition Audiobook CD format in sturdy Vinyl case with cloth sleeves that keep compact discs protected.] [Read by Sophie Thompson] Mary Poppins, the unflappable nanny of the Banks children, is back again! -- It is a day like any other for Mary Poppins and the Banks family in Number Seventeen Cherry Tree Lane -- until a telegram arrives with the momentous news that Miss Andrews, the Holy Terror, is coming to live in the house next door. The house has always been empty and so has become the treasure of Cherry Tree Lane -- each neighbor has filled it with personal dreams. But now peace in the lane is gravely threatened. Can Mary Poppins, in her own magical, whimsical way, resolve the crisis? Review ''Features all of the favorite and familiar characters in a fast-paced fantasy/farce . . . Travers has written a satisfying story that skillfully combines the mundane with the magical in plot and sharp-as-ever characterization.'' --School Library Journal''When Mary Poppins is about, her young charges can never tell where the real world merges into make-believe. Neither can the reader, and that is one of the hallmarks of good fantasy.'' --New York Times, praise for the series About the Author P. L. TRAVERS (1899-1996) was a drama critic, travel essayist, reviewer, lecturer, and author of the 'Mary Poppins' books. She wrote several other books for adults and children, but it is for the character of Mary Poppins that she is best remembered.
