I have never bought any of these light up figures— I never buy anything with lights because I expect them to break down. But this one’s in my cart!! So rare to get anything of Mary in her traveling costume, and I just think it’s a beautiful piece.

A new Mary Poppins 'making of' book is coming out.
In this captivating book, Todd James Pierce details the process from conception through production, including the challenges that the boys―and Disney―faced in dealing with author P. L. Travers and persuading her that their vision for the film would resonate with audiences. While the Shermans and their songs are at the heart of the book, there are also lively anecdotes about the casting of the movie, the innovative special effects, and the relationship between “Mary Poppins” and the larger Disney world. Making Mary Poppins tells the fascinating story behind an iconic film.

How interesting— I’m guessing this book isn’t authorized by Disney which is why it doesn’t use MP artwork on the cover. That’s not necessarily a bad thing at all, but the author may not have had access to the Disney archives which could limit the scope of his research. Since it’s focused on the Sherman Brothers, perhaps he was able to interview Richard Sherman before he died? Or maybe their children have involvement?

I pre-ordered this and Kaufman’s Fantasia book. Thanks, Sotiris, for the heads up!

Awesome news! Despite how it`s still astonishing that they didn`t release one last year, for it`s Anniversary. But I`m wondering if it`s going to have some pictures in it.
