The fact that they were perceived as acceptable when they were first issued is what makes them 'classic' and for me, they really shouldn't need to be updated or changed from the original.<br /><br />I am going to be in the minority when I also say that I have seen the 'Disneyfied' version of Mary Poppins. I am a complete Disneyholic, so can't see anything wrong with some poetic licence being taken to give wider audience appeal, just so long as the original is still left intact and available to all.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing :)<br /><br />YvonneYvonne @ Fiction Books Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821114534056290177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-42799868231753597892017-01-25T10:28:39.927+00:002017-01-25T10:28:39.927+00:00I had no idea that Mary Poppins was actually a ser...I had no idea that Mary Poppins was actually a series of novels.<br /><br />I like the fact that she is such a flawed character :) I am thinking that it would be unlikely that an author could create such a character for children's books these days.

I didn't know it was racist but I can also read it with the time period in mind... even if I'm a bit put off by it. Might be good for me to stick to the movie, however.
