The Mary Poppins books were as beloved by me as the Narnia, Oz and Borrowers stories. I remember reading an article about how difficult Walt Disney found P.L. Travers to work with. As I always find a background story fascinating, I'm greatly looking forward to this film!
Here we have the back story of a character rather than creator. I'll admit to having a life long fascination with Disney's straight (non-comic) villains, particularly Maleficent, Queen Grimhilde(Snow White's evil step mother) and lady Tremaine (Cinderella's evil stepmother)
