TRAVERS P.L.: (1899-1966) Australian-born English writer, best known for her series of Mary Poppins books. A rare A.Q.S., P.L. Travers, on an 8vo page removed from an autograph album, n.p., n.d. To the head of the page Travers has penned a brief quotation in blue fountain pen ink, ´O Mary, Mary, She´s my Dearie, She´s my Dearie - O!´, also adding the chapter title Full Moon. Some very light, extremely minor age wear, VG

The phrase ´O Mary, Mary, She´s my Dearie, She´s my Dearie - O!´ is a recurring rhyme in Travers´ original Mary Poppins book, particularly in the Full Moon chapter. This line is sung by animals during a surreal, magical birthday celebration at the zoo where they and humans exchange roles.
