Liz: did you know that Barnes & Noble stores will not sell PL Travers? This is because the returns of the books are enormous. Parents buy them thinking that they are just like the movie and then discover how unpleasant Ms. Poppins is! My parents bought me the books after I saw the movie - and I hated them, lol!

Sounds to me that perhaps Tim Burton may have been a better fit!

My experience was just the opposite. I had read and loved all of the Poppins books before the movie ever came out. I liked the movie but was very disappointed that it was not really Mary Poppins!
