Travers and Thompson are an unbeatable team!

The timeless and colorful writing style of P.L. Travers, who captures life so perfectly in turn-of-the-century England (particularly through the eyes of the Banks children, Jane and Michael), is perfectly matched by the expressive and deliciously-delivered narration of Sophie Thompson! Sophie was absolutely made to narrate these books; her crisp and clean enunciation, coupled with her ability to accurately impersonate the variety of Travers' imaginative characters, engagingly transports young and old listeners alike through the mysterious and magical world of a most wondrous nanny and the people who reside at number 17 Cherry Tree Lane. Comforting, lavish and engaging, these books delivered by this writer/narrator team are everything one could ever want in a srory-telling experience!

So funny

I have become accustomed to Mary Poppins shenanigans! This was everything I've come to love and expect from a PL Travers book and I loved it.

Too short

Didn't realize it was only 2 chapters long. Very short story and not worth cost, but I've enjoyed the other Mary Poop in books and couldn't resist.

Cute and Quaint Mini Story

If you listened to the first 3 or 4 Mary Poppins books, this follows the same characters and is just as much fun. However the format is different because it feels like it's really only one chapter that P.L. Travers couldn't fit into a different book. Still a wonderful story.
