Mary Poppins – are we or aren’t we?
October 9, 2025
Mary Poppins, the fictional character from P L Travers’ book, is full of delightful contradictions. On the one hand, she’s firm, strict and doesn’t tolerate any nonsense; but on the other, she’s caring, loving and has that famous sparkle of magic about her. &nbs...
