Kittys Notes:
The magical nanny that was launched upon the world with the help of a magic umbrella and her charming yet indomitable personality soon enchanted generations of children with these delightful tales first written by Pamela Lyndon Travers in the 1930's era.
This lovely old Mary Poppins book is a scarce first edition of one of the books from this delightful series it was printed for the first time in 1982 and is still absolutely perfect for bedtime stories, to let Mary Poppins and the delightful characters of Cherry Tree Lane weave their way into the hearts of another generation of children.
There is also a little glossary of herbs that appear in the story at the back of the book that is quite sweet and adds to the charm of this children's story book.
Extract from this book "Mary Poppins in Cherry Tree Lane":
"'It was Midsummer's Eve! This is a magical night of the year. Many curious things can happen in it before it gives way to the dawn. But it was not night yet by any means. The sun still bright was dawdling to the west, lazily taking his time about it as though reluctant to leave the world.
He felt that he had done it proud, putting upon it a shine and polish that would not quickly fade. His own reflection shone back at him from fountains, lakes and window-panes, even from the ripened fruit that hung in the trees in Cherry Tree Lane, a place well known to him.
'Nothing like sunshine,' he flattered himself, as he noted the glitter of the ship's lanterns on either side of the admiral's gate: the sparkel of the brass knocker on the door of Miss Lark's mansion; the gleam that came from an old tin toy abandoned apparently by its owners, in the garden of the smallest house. This too was a place well known to him..."
