Is there any child/parent who doesn’t dream of Mary Poppins flying in with her brolly to lead them into all manner of adventures/employ her peculiar powers to tidy the children’s bedrooms? Mary Poppins Up, Up and Away by Hélène Druvert (Thames & Hudson, RRP £14.95) is a beautiful new introduction to the magical nanny, featuring exquisite laser-cut designs and illustrated silhouettes of London and the night sky, as Mary takes Jane and Michael on a mystery tour of some of the capital’s more unusual sights. A lovely story to share with any child, whether they are a fan of P.L. Travers’ iconic character or not.
