Synopsis

Mary Poppins is a story of taking practical steps towards happiness. It’s looking at the bright side of life. It’s setting boundaries, deciding what you want and making it happen. That’s the path to being Practically Perfect 
For comedian Katy Brand, part of the joy of watching Mary Poppins as a child was the thrill of the film’s iconic, no-nonsense heroine. Her unshakeable confidence, her staunch independence, and that touch of magic. Now she’s all grown up, Katy takes another look beyond the talking umbrellas, bottomless bags and dubious cockney accents to show that Mary’s still got something to teach us. 
She explores how the beloved nanny was brought to life from the page to the big screen, and delves into her most striking memories to uncover themes that are still as important now as they were at the time, from women’s rights and poverty, to toxic masculinity and work-life balance. 
With interviews and insights from famous fans and friends, Practically Perfect is the common-sense manual for life that we never knew we needed, and sprinkles some supercalifragilistic magic along the way. 
In this best-selling autobiography, Katy Brand explores her personal relationship with Mary Poppins, a character that has influenced various stages of her life. With a touch of humour, she delves into topics such as women's rights, poverty, toxic masculinity, and work-life balance, making this book a top choice for those interested in memoirs that offer more than just a personal story. 
For fans of Sarah Millican (How to be Champion), Emma Forrest (Busy Being Free), Lauren Bravo (What Would the Spice Girls Do?), Randall Munroe (What If?), and David Jason (A Del of a Life).
