Up in the sky a tiny spark hovered and swayed in the darkness. What could it be...? Still they waited. And still the spark grew ever larger and brighter. Then suddenly Jane caught her breath. And Michael gave a gasp. Down came the spark, growing longer and wider. And as it came, it took on a shape that was strange and also familiar. Out of the glowing core of light emerged a curious figure - a figure in a black straw hat and a blue coat trimmed with silver buttons.

This book is my favorite in PL Travis's "Mary Poppins" series primarily because of one story, "The Marble Boy." In this hauntingly lovely story, Travers offers a blend of winsome poignance with a lesson in Classic Greek mythology, her trademark whimsy, and the bracingly unsentimental English nanny figure of Mary Poppins. I bought this book so my daughter could read the story, which I have loved and carried in memory since my own childhood. The copy I received did not carry the author's note to "The Fifth of November"; written in 1939 on the eve of the second world war, it is a statement that is surely one of the most eloquent and poetic expressions of hope offered to children and grownups, everywhere.
