Prather’s Pick: The first ‘Mary Poppins’ book

This week’s book is intended for the young adult reader, but younger readers will enjoy having the book read to them. It’s “Mary Poppins,” written by P.L. Travers back in 1934, with two renewed copyrights, the most recent in 1981. The book was illustrated by Julia Sarda in 2013.

According to the brief biography in the book, Travers was a drama critic, travel essayist, lecturer, and author. The author wrote eight Mary Poppins books, included the most recent (1952) book, “Mary Poppins in the Park.” Travers, who wrote other children’s books and adult books, died in 1996.

This is a beautiful book. The cover is blue with some silver-like etchings of gates that are opened. The columns above the gates are designed with closed-up parasols, birds, kites, spoons and a bowl, and even a gingerman. An oval is cut in the center of the cover to form a frame for a picture of Mary Poppins, with a carpet bag in one hand and an opened parasol in the other. She walks around with several varieties of birds that fly around her.

To stay focused when I'm writing intensively, I go to the movies in the afternoons. It's a kind of meditation that includes the walk down the hill to the cinema and back up again afterwards. And a few weeks ago, I saw three women-directed movies in three days: Rama Burshtein's Fill The Void, Anaïs Barbeau-Lavalette's Inch'Allah and Nicole Holofcener's Enough Said. Maybe things have changed, I thought to myself, ever optimistic. But I also noticed that men wrote and directed Catching Fire, from a novel by a woman, about a young woman and produced by a woman. And then I read Vocativ's analysis of 2013's 50 top-grossing US releases. This shows that almost half were Bechdel Test-passing films and that they did better at the US box office than those that weren't. BUT except for Frozen, which Jennifer Lee co-directed (and wrote) men directed all 50. And then at the weekend, all three of the new releases reviewed in our local paper (with enthusiasm) told stories that centred on women– August: Osage County; Philomena; Gloria. And men wrote and directed all of th
