MARY POPPINS and MARY POPPINS COMES BACK. (2 book set)

Edition: First US printings.

New York: Reynal & Hitchcock, (1934, 1935) dj. Hardcover first edition - The first two books in Traver's series of eight books featuring the Banks children and their plain, no-nonsense nanny with magical powers. Basis for the Oscar award-winning Disney film featuring Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke, although Travers disliked both the film and the depiction of Mary Poppins, feeling that the harsher aspects were diluted (the movie was primarily based on the first book, but it incorporated some elements from the second in the series). Author Jerry Griswold commented that Mary Poppins is "a modernized collection of ancient fables and teaching stories. That's what makes it an extraordinary children's book" - and not just a children's book. Illustrated throughout with drawings by Mary Shepard. Illustrated endpapers. 206 pp. and 268 pp. respectively.

Condition: 'Mary Poppins' is very good overall in blue boards with a slight spine slant, mild toning to the pages (bookseller ticket on rear endpaper) in a good only example of the more uncommon dark blue dustjacket with tears along the folds, and the side of the spine, loss of about 1 cm inch at top of spine, and 2 cm at the foot, but still attractive. 'Mary Poppins Comes Back' is also very good in light green boards with mild toning to the pages (bookseller ticket on rear endpaper) in a good only dustjacket mising approximately 1 in at the top of the spine, other small chips and short closed tears, but still attractive. Both dust jackets have the original price of $1.50 still present.
