Stay dry in the rain (or cool in the sun!) with your very own replica of Mary’s parrot head umbrella. The parrot headed umbrella in Mary Poppins (Robert Stevenson, 1964) Mary Poppins, the mysterious nanny who blew in on an easterly wind changing forever the lives of the assorted inhabitants of Cherry Tree Lane, had only two requirements to work her magic – her caustic wit and a parrot headed umbrella. Her deceptively large carpet bag may have held fathomless possibilities for her young charges, Jane and Michael Banks, but it was her umbrella which bewitched everyone else.
