"Good and evil both increase at compound interest. That is why the little decisions we make are of such infinite importance. The smallest good act today is the capture of a strategic point from which, a few months later, you may be able to go on to victories you never dreamed of." — C. S. Lewis 📷🌱

Pamela Lyndon "P.L." Travers OBE was born #OTD in 1899. The creator of the magical nanny Mary Poppins, she published the first Mary Poppins book in 1934. It was an instant literary success. She wrote 7 more spanning all the way from the 1930s to 1988. #LitSky #BookSky #KidLit
A split-screen composition pairs a black-and-white portrait of Australian-British author Pamela Lyndon "P. L." Travers (1899–1996) with the iconic pink cover of her 1934 debut novel, Mary Poppins. On the left, Travers is captured from the chest up, sporting a dark, tightly curled, short hairstyle. She wears a crisp white collared blouse, small button earrings, and looks forward with a calm, subtle, and enigmatic half-smile. The soft-focus, domestic background underscores an intimate, thoughtful mood. On the right, the vibrant coral-pink book cover features the famous black ink and yellow line illustration by Mary Shepard. The drawing depicts the magical nanny flying through the air, viewed from the side. She holds a deployed black umbrella aloft in her right hand and grasps a woven carpet bag in her left. Below her, the rooftops of Cherry Tree Lane peek through treetops against a starry night sky, establishing the lasting historical significance of her literary legacy.
