		Pamela Lyndon Travers was a youngish woman when, in 1934, she wrote the first of her Mary Poppins books, books which she was emphatic were not especially meant for children.
		What they were, rather, were elaborate paradigms, inflected with cod-Jungianism, which spoke of the journey towards psychic wholeness undertaken by all her characters, Mary Poppins included.
		That she does so is testimony not simply to her powers of empathy but to her very sure grasp of both the British and Australian contexts in which Pamela Lyndon Travers (real name: Helen Lyndon Goff) willed herself into being.

		Her creator, Helen Lyndon Goff (who preferred to be known as P.L. Travers), hated the character Disney had created, and repudiated the film and the Sixties twist Disney had put on her sternly moral nanny, especially the notion that Mary and Bert the Pavement Artist could be romantically attached.
		Lowing’s character, Mary, seems at first the calm centre around whom the others move frenetically, and she brings a strength and solidity to the role that makes the subsequent revelations of her fragility all the more moving.
		Helen Howard’s Teresa is initially all Yorkshire common sense, but after a few drinks another side of her personality emerges, alternately comic and pathetic.
