Best Answer

Pamela L Travers is the author of Mary Poppins- in book form. there are serious differences between the books and the movie. The character Bert does not appear in the books, and there is no (Jane Adaams of London) syndrome, Mary does not court lower-deck occupational types such as Chimney sweeps ( a sneeze away from a garbage man). The super-powers of Mary are toned down in the books, it may be she projects illusions rather like The Shadow. The books first came out in l934. Ms Travers is no longer living. The Broadway play is in full flight. one wonders why this serious nonsense is so darn popular, it cannot happen.
