P.L. Travers
Pamela Lyndon Travers, known as P.L. Travers, was an Australian-born British writer best known for her 'Mary Poppins' series of children's books. The first book, published in 1934, introduced the iconic character of Mary Poppins, a magical nanny who brings joy and adventure to the lives of the Banks children. Travers had a complex relationship with the adaptation of her work into film, particularly with Disney's 1964 version, which she felt strayed too far from her original vision. Her life and struggles with the adaptation process were depicted in the film 'Saving Mr. Banks'.
