This is one I have always wanted to read to compare to the movie but had never gotten around to until now it was fun to get to know this iconic character better. The book character is just as magical as the Mary we see in the movie but quite different otherwise. Definitely a fun book to read.

3/3.5 ⭐️ - a quick read of the source material (revised from the original publication) for the Julie Andrews adventure I grew up enjoying. Reading this made me want to check out Saving Mr. Banks…

EadieB @Andrew65 That‘s true about most movies made from books! 1y
Andrew65 @EadieB Unfortunately so. 1y
EadieB @Andrew65 Some movies are better than the books but some are not! 1y
Birdsong28 They even have a bookish song in the live action one! Check out The cover is not the book song. 1y
Andrew65 More often the books are better. 1y
EadieB @Andrew65 I don‘t know why they do that. They make them fit to filming I guess! 1y
EadieB @Birdsong28 That‘s interesting! 1y
Andrew65 @EadieB Yes, my usual response is Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher, just no 😡 1y
EadieB @Andrew65 That was crazy! That‘s why Steven King always wanted to be involved with the movie because they ruined so many of his books by making horrible movies of them. (edited) 1y
Andrew65 @EadieB If you love the story enough to make it into a movie why change it? 1y
EadieB @Andrew65 some books are too long for movies so that‘s one reason and some things are hard to film. (edited) 1y

bnp @andrew65 They are different. But you will find prototypes for many of the vignettes in the film scattered throughout the books. 1y

One cannot listen to this without recalling Saving Mr Banks and PL Travers‘ reaction to the Disneyfied film. I do love both but they are so very different.
This is a far less saccharine version and it is quite difficult to see why the children loved Mary Poppins so much. Beatrix could not work it out - she continued to wait for her to become nicer.
