Mary Poppins, the first novel in a series of children’s books written by P.L. Travers, was published in 1934. The nanny is a sensible English governess with magical powers, encouraging your child's imagination to understand why adults do the things they do. Our Practically Perfect Nanny is just the same. She loves teaching etiquette & manners, flies in the sky with her chatty parrot parasol, and can't wait to make your party or event supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. (and yes, you should absolutely ask her to say it backwards).
