This time I was more familiar with Travers’s version of Mary Poppins and was able to just enjoy the stories like children-at-heart are supposed to. Summary: Mary Poppins comes back on the end of a kite string, stays with the Banks family for a while, and then disappears on a merry-go-round horse.Mary Poppins does come back, after leaving Michael and Jane at the end of the first book (just as she did in the movie).

Although Travers was an adviser to the production she disapproved of the dilution of the harsher aspects of Mary Poppins's character, felt ambivalent about the music and disliked the use of animation to such an extent that she ruled out any further adaptations of the later Mary Poppins novels.

And as in the first book, Mary Poppins never explains how any of the magical things happen to the children, never answers their questions.This book has more or less the same pros and cons as the first, but I was a little more vexed by them this time because it was a second book's worth of them. She accepts the job (agreeing to stay "till the wind changes"), and the children soon learn that their nanny, though stern, vain and usually cross, has a magical touch that makes her wonderful.
