“The Day Out” describes Mary Poppins’ day away from the Banks household, which she spends with her good friend Bert. Mary Poppins arrives at their home and becomes their new nanny, charming them with special powers and magic. “East Wind” introduces the Banks family and Jane and Michael in particular, making it clear that they are two of the main protagonists of the story. The book, though progressing in chronological order, does not move steadily through time but rather hops from event to event as the children in the book adjust to Mary Poppins’ new role in their household.
“East Wind,” for example, hints at Mary Poppins’ arrival in the narrative, accompanied as she is by an East Wind. Travers’ novel is divided neatly into twelve chapters, each of which features a title that hints at the chapter’s content. The following version of this book was used to create the guide: Travers, P.L.
