 | | Travers was plainly a little bonkers, self-consciously oblique, and had much of Poppins's own astringency – she was labelled "touchy as hell" by The New York Times. |  | | It was AE who suggested that Travers write a tale using all her powers of fantasy, weaving into it stories of inanimate objects coming to life. |  | | She claimed that she could read by the age of three, having taught herself by studying the alphabet on household packaging, and that she devoured fairy stories and was particularly fond of the Brothers Grimm. |

 | | Pamela Travers met Gurdjieff in 1938, while the first edition of Mary Poppins was published in 1934 |  | | The newspaper correctly noted that the word "esotericism" that I used for the work of Pamela Travers is not a synonymous of "occultism" and much less of "Satanism". |  | | Although Travers may have heard about Gurdjieff in the British esoteric milieu before their personal meeting, this is far from being probable and any influence by Gurdjieff is more likely to be found in the following Mary Poppins books (particularly Mary Poppins Opens the Door, 1944 and Mary Poppins in the Park, 1952) |
