I was surprised by how strange it was compared to the movie, which is a little strange in itself, though quite wonderful, and I really disliked Mary.

They don't have tons of new releases, but since I read a lot of backlist, I have plenty on my "to read" shelf.

I have seen Saving Mr. Banks but not the original Mary Poppins movies yet or the Travers' stories, i do plan to do it thought because the Tom Hanks, Emma Thompson movie had really got me interested into this and of course reading your thoughts add to my decision-making too. Also I very much like the simplisitc Alice in Wonderland look of your blog.<br /><br />Aparajta @<a href="http://le-grande-codex.blogspot.in/" rel="nofollow">Le' Grande Codex</a>Aparajitanoreply@blogger.com
