Pamela Travers
She spoke more freely about her friendship with A. R. Orage which developed when he published one of her poems in the New Age. She would speak with immense gratitude about the way he encouraged her in her writing, and inspired her in her search, already alive and strong since childhood and nurtured in early adulthood by George Russell (A. E.) and W. B. Yeats among others. She would often say, “If you want to know more, read What the Bee Knows,”—the book she wished most to be her epitaph. It contains all her major contributions over 20 years to Parabola magazine, and includes her remarkable lecture to the American Library of Congress in 1967 entitled “Only Connect,” that phrase so loved by her, taken (or as she herself would say “stolen”) from E. M. Forster’s Howard’s End. [eng] |

TRAVERS, Pamela Lyndon
My name is P. L. Travers and I represent ‘Nature’s gifts’ because I wrote the Mary Poppins books, which is a little surprising because they are all about an English nanny. Mary Poppins became famous when Walt Disney’s movie studio made a film based on my books in the 1960s; however, my first Mary Poppins story was published in 1934. [eng] |
