Autor von Mary Poppins
Über den Autor
Born in Australia to an Irish father and a Scottish mother, Helen Lyndon Goff aka. P. L. Travers was a voracious reader and began to write while she was still a child. She did some acting but quickly moved into literary and dramatic criticism; she wrote some highly respected poetry as well. mehr anzeigen However, it is her series of books for children, starting with Mary Poppins (1934), on which her fame rests. The prim, kindly, and enchanting nanny takes charge of the Banks's household and brings the children a seemingly endless stream of fantasy adventures. The book was an immediate success. Walt Disney's (see Vol. 3) musical version, in 1964, brought the stories to an even wider audience. Subsequent books about Mary Poppins include Mary Poppins Comes Back, Mary Poppins Opens the Door, Mary Poppins in the Park, Mary Poppins from A to Z, and Mary Poppins and the House Next Door. Other more recent books include About Sleeping Beauty (1975) and Two Pair of Shoes (1980). Travers was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in 1977. She lived into advanced old age, but her health was declining toward the end of her life. Travers died in London on April 23,1996 at the age of 96. (Bowker Author Biography) weniger anzeigen

Rezensionen
Mary Poppins öffnet die Tür von Pamela L. Travers
Ein Zitat sagt alles über das Buch: "Wißt ihr denn nicht, dass jeder sein eigenes Märchenland hat ?"
Mary Poppins kannte ich bisher nicht (weder Buch noch Film) und hatte mir was ganz anderes vorgestellt. Das Kindermädchen netter, die Geschichte zusammenhängender, die Personen irgendwie charakterisierter. Außerdem erwartete ich irgendwo dieses oft zitierte lange Wort, aber das kommt wohl im Film vor.
Trotzdem fand ich das Hörbuch nicht schlecht. Heike Makatsch liest recht gut und die Geschichte, in der die Baby-Zwillinge, Mary Poppins und der Star plaudern finde ich super.

Mit einem Kindermädchen, die mit Tieren reden und noch mehr von diesen beachtlichen Vorzügen kann, erleben die Kinder vom Kirschbaumweg viele Abenteuer.
