Mary Poppins is a series of children's books written by P. L. Travers and originally illustrated by Mary Shepard. The books center around a mysterious, vain and acerbic magical English nanny who is blown by the wind to Number Seventeen Cherry-Tree Lane, London and into the Banks household to care for their children. Encounters with chimney sweeps, shopkeepers and various adventures follow until Mary Poppins abruptly leaves. The adventures take place over a total of eight books. However, only the first three books feature Mary Poppins arriving and leaving. The later five books recount previously unrecorded adventures from her original three visits. As P.L. Travers explains in her introduction to Mary Poppins in the Park, 'She cannot forever arrive and depart.'

The books were adapted in 1964 into a musical Disney film starring Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke. In 2004 Disney Theatrical produced a stage musical adaptation in the West End, London. The stage musical was transferred to Broadway in 2006.

Mary Poppins was made into a film by Walt Disney Productions in 1964 based on the series of children's books. According to the 40th anniversary DVD release of the film in 2004, Walt Disney first attempted to purchase the film rights to Mary Poppins from P.L. Travers as early as 1938 but was rebuffed because Travers did not believe a film version of her books would do justice to her creation and did not want an animated cartoon based on it. He finally succeeded in 1961, although Travers demanded and got script approval rights.
