After visiting Fontainebleau in France, Travers met George Ivanovich Gurdjieff, an occultist, of whom she became a "disciple". Around the same time she was taught by Carl Gustav Jung in Switzerland.

My Book Notes

His life is so strictly regimented by his job that he has no time for nor interest in his children until Mary Poppins presses the issue.

Jerkass Ball: Held by him in the "Bad Tuesday" chapter of Mary Poppins, where he does things like intentionally make Ellen spill her tray and yell at the servants. The Hamadryad: An old and wise snake (a king cobra), stated to be 'the King of all beasts', who is Mary Poppins's first cousin once removed on her mother's side. He lives at London Zoo. He is the host of Mary Poppins's birthday party whenever it falls on a full moon. Adorably Precocious Child: Annabel and John both tend to act like they're older than they are, and when Mary Poppins arrives they're both dismissive of her at first since they think they're too old for a nanny. However, the fantastic adventures she takes them on makes them mellow out considerably. The death of their mother is likely the reason why they try to act mature and responsible. McDonald, Shae (2013-12-18). "PL Travers biographer Valerie Lawson says the real Mary Poppins lived in Woollahra". Wentworth Courier. Sydney: The Daily Telegraph (Sydney) [dailytelegraph.com.au]. Cruel to Be Kind: She thinks she's this - after all, "spare the rod and spoil the child" - but in reality she's just plain abusive.

Reviews

Defrosting Ice King: When Mr. Banks tells him the joke about a man with a wooden leg named Smith, he breaks into a fit of laughter before he dies laughing. Even Dawes Jr. mentions that he had never been happier in his life. Maia: The second daughter of the seven Pleiades, who visits the children during their Christmas shopping to buy presents for all of her six sisters. Motor Mouth: As typical for a character played by Lin-Manuel Miranda. Best on display during his lengthy verse about the Dirty Rascal during "The Cover Is Not The Book."
