P. L. Travers Quotes
If I laugh on that particular day I become so filled with Laughing Gas that I simply can’t keep on the ground. Even if I smile it happens. The first funny thought, and I’m up like a balloon. And until I can think of something serious I can’t get down again.

In 1933, she began writing her series of children's novels about the mystical and magical English nanny Mary Poppins.
