This is a perfect beginners cookbook/gift for a child that's a major Mary Poppins fan, otherwise there are many other children's cookbooks that would serve this purpose better. The recipes are decent, a bit too British for most American kids tastes however. That is an issue with the audience and not the book obviously.
For collectors of P.L. Travers writings you will want this, it is but a pale shadow of the series. But any work by Travers is a quirky cause for fun, enjoy it for what it is.
