Pamela Lyndon Travers, OBE (/ˈtrævərs/; born Helen Lyndon Goff; 9 August 1899 – 23 April 1996), was an Australian-born British novelist, actress, and journalist who migrated to England and lived most of her adult life there. She is known best for the Mary Poppins series of children's books featuring the magical English nanny Mary Poppins.

Upon immigrating to England in 1924, Goff began to write under the pen name P. L. Travers. In 1933 she began writing the novel Mary Poppins, first of the Poppins books. During World War II, while working for the British Ministry of Information, Travers traveled to New York City. At that time Walt Disney contacted her about selling to Disney Studios the rights for a film adaptation of Mary Poppins, whose sequel Mary Poppins Comes Back was also in print. After years of contact, Walt Disney did obtain the rights and the Disney film Mary Poppins premièred in 1964. In 2004, a new, British musical theatre adaptation of the books and the film opened in the West End; it premièred on Broadway in 2006.

For services to literature, Travers was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II in 1977.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Perfectly Nice
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 January 2025
    Two short novellas which bring to an end the sequence of Mary Poppins' stories. Much like the last full book, these stories are supposed to happen somewhere in the time frame before Mary Poppins in the Park comes to an end. These are both stories with more than the usual hint at Travers' more esoteric beliefs coming to the surface. They're interesting but not as strong as the original stories.

    Le livre est en assez mauvais état, mais c'est normal, car c'est de l'occasion et le prix est correct. Au moins, c'est un livre qui a servi et ça ne me dérange pas personnellement :)
    Je recommande donc cet article aux personnes qui n'ont rien contre l'occasion.

    The one and only Mary Poppins! No wonder P. L. Travers was so disappointed with Disney's version of the magic nanny! He really didn't catch the idea!
