A Lively OracleA Centennial Celebration of P. L. TraversCreator of Mary Poppins Edited by Ellen Dooling Draper & Jenny Koralek Everyone knows Mary Poppins—at least her Disney version!—but how many know her creator was a brilliant, mysterious woman with many other fascinating accomplishments? Pamela L. Travers (“a truly extraordinary writer” —Ursula K. LeGuin) passionately celebrated story, fairytale, and mythic image. Now friends and colleagues celebrate her on the centennial of her birth (1899). These tributes, stories, interviews, and analyses of her work—all from people who knew her—recount delightful facets of one of the 20th century’s most creative and memorable minds. Contributers include Laurens van der Post, Jonathan Cott, Martha Heyneman, James George, Phil Zaleski, Ellen Dooling Draper, Ben Haggerty, Jenny Koralek, Adrian House, Brian Sibley, Paul Jordan-Smith, Trebbe Johnson, Rob Baker, and Feenie Ziner, plus memories from Julie Andrews and three articles by P. L. Travers. Beställ här |
