After seeing the movie "Saving Mr. Banks" sometime early this year, I naturally had to put the book on which this film was based ("Mary Poppins, She Wrote: The Life of P.L. Travers" by Valerie Lawson) on my to-read list for down the road.
Well....down the road finally came, and I recently enjoyed this read.

And here, Ms. Travers reminds the world she doesn't "write for children". :)
