A collection of charming holiday tales, by the author of Mary Poppins -
a timeless gift for all ages. Each of the stories in this book was
written by P.L. Travers as a holiday gift, sent to her friends and
family and never published. Now millions of readers and generations of
film-goers will get a peek behind the curtain and see how she used her
life story to inform her fiction. Whether it is Aunt Sass herself - who
is partly her inspiration for Mary Poppins - or the crass ex-jockey
whose life work is not at all what it appears, the characters are
unforgettable. P.L. Travers wrote with a signature blend of sugar and
spice; her characters, including Mary Poppins, are endearing, outsized,
and cozy. The Aunt Sass Christmas Stories will delight any child -
naughty or nice.
