Mehso-so

I adore the Mary Poppins film by Walt Disney Studios. The film is one of few that I feel is better than the source material. I saw the film about PL Travers and Walt Disney's long-time negotiations for making the film. I was looking forward to reading this book. She was selfish and I do not have a sense that she was ever happy. Her children's writing evokes a playful imagination that seems unlikely when compared to the way she lived life.
