'Diamond Jo was a woman to love, and a woman to remember, as Sir Emmanuel Berstein, who tells her story, loved and remembers her. The story burns with diamond fever; charged with the ruthlessness of a harsh land where a man could become a millionaire one night and be murdered for his wealth before the next day began.'   (Publication summary)

'Friends come in many guises. In these autobiographical stories, three characters - an eccentric great aunt, a Chinese cook and a foul-mouthed ex-jockey - assert a lifelong influence on the narrator, as she looks back over her childhood. Much like Mary Poppins, each comes into the child's life just when she needs them most. And each, however unlikely, becomes a friend and a champion to the young girl.' (Publication summary)

43 22 y separately published work icon Mary Poppins P. L. Travers , New York (City) : Reynal and Hitchcock , 1934 Z797048 1934 single work children's fiction children's fantasy

The first of P.L. Travers's novels about the magical nanny, Mary Poppins.

When Katie Nana, the much-tried nanny to the Banks family of 17 Cherry Tree Lane, finally storms out in a huff, the wind blows in Mary Poppins and her carpetbag. The Banks children find that Mary Poppins is stern, vain, and usually cross – but also has a touch of magic about her.
