Summary
Discover the joy and wonder of Mary Poppins in the classic adventures!
Read by Olivia Colman, this stunning performance lifts P. L Travers’s words off the page, transporting us back to a time where classic story telling is at the heart of any story.
When the East Wind blows Mary Poppins into the home of the Banks children, their lives go topsy-turvy and are changed forever.
More than 80 years since we first met Mary Poppins, this original, classic story is still charming listeners and transporting new fans into the mysterious world of everyone’s favourite magical nanny.
Critic reviews

Interesting
I have to say I prefer the film than the book, which is a rare thing. I found Mary Poppins a little bit scary and not much fun.

Whimsical
A wonderful tale of another time that I'm sure would delight both young and old alike.

Utterly delightful
The book (as so often happens) surpasses the film, with all of Travers’ humour and imagination coming through in entirely unknown sections (my and my children’s particular favourite being the babies chapter talking to the sun and bird).
And Olivia Colman, unsurprisingly, is fantastic, I’ve been recommending it to everyone.

children's book?
rather dated but still has charm. I'm glad to say that parenting has changed a great deal but there are still nannies.....

Brilliant story telling and nonsense
The narration by Olivia Coleman is simply sublime. I’ve listened to loads of audiobooks and she is possibly one of the best. As for the story, an old classic we all know and love, and filled with wondrous nonsense. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Great performance
I've read Mary Poppins and listened to it on Audible, believing I'd missed something that makes this such a loved work. I must have missed it twice. The Audible performance is great, I think Olivia Coleman really adds a dimension to this book however, for me personally, I just don't understand the love towards Mary Poppins by the public or by the cast of characters in the book? Every character treats her warmly yet she's full of contempt and arrogance throughout. I can't see why anyone would want to spend anytime with her?... I'm clearly missing a nuance of the character but, considering this is aimed at children you'd expect her to have some redeeming features besides magic?!

My kids and I enjoyed this story
it's very different from the Disney movie, book vet enjoyable. Found the narrator's voice slightly irritating at first but she grew on me
