Maia: The second daughter of the seven Pleiades, who visits the children during their Christmas shopping to buy presents for all of her six sisters. She had a vivid imagination from childhood on, and was inspired by her love of reading, favoring fairy tales and myths. Following her father's death, Goff, along with her mother and sisters, moved to Bowral, New South Wales, in 1907, and she attended the local branch of the Sydney Church of England Grammar School. [15] She boarded at the now-defunct Normanhurst School in Ashfield, a suburb of Sydney, from 1912. At Normanhurst, she began to love theatre. In 1914 she published an article in the Normanhurst School Magazine, her first, and later that year directed a school concert. The following year, Goff played the role of Bottom in a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. She became a prefect and sought to have a successful career as an actress. [16] [17] Goff's first employment was at the Australian Gas Light Company as a cashier. [18] Between 1918 and 1924 she resided at 40 Pembroke Street, Ashfield. [19] In 1920 Goff appeared in her first pantomime. [20] The following year she was hired to work in a Shakespearean Company run by Allan Wilkie based in Sydney.

And when they have done that—” “You’ve forgotten the baths.” “Oh, yes—they bath themselves and comb their wings with their claws. And when they have done that they fly three times round the head of the Bird Woman and then they settle.” “Do they sit on her shoulders?” “Yes, and on her hat.” “And on her basket with the bags in it?” “Yes, and some on her knee. Then she smooths down the head-feathers of each one in turn and tells it to be a good bird—” “In the bird language?” “Yes. And when they are all sleepy and don’t want to stay awake any longer, she spreads out her skirts, as a mother hen spreads out her wings, and the birds go creep, creep, creeping underneath. And as soon as the last one is under she settles down over them, making little brooding, nesting noises and they sleep there till morning.” Michael sighed happily. He loved the story and was never tired of hearing it. “And it’s all quite true, isn’t it?” he said, just as he always did. “No,” said Mary Poppins, who always said “No.” “Yes,” said Jane, who always knew everything…

Mary Poppins is given the charge to take care of five Banks children where she is portrayed as no nonsense and tough nanny who uses extra ordinary measure to instill discipline to the kids. She is constantly scolding the children if they point out her magical powers but is always at ease when around her friends who include Nellie-Rubina, Mrs. Corry and Bert the Matchman. The story portrays Mary as someone with lots of exaggerated self-confidence and is always admiring herself in the mirror or any other reflection.

Rochlin, Margy (2014-01-03). "Not Quite All Spoonfuls of Sugar: Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson Discuss Saving Mr. Banks". The New York Times . Retrieved 2014-01-05. Mary Poppins, one of the best-loved characters in children’s literature, came from a little story she made up while babysitting two young children. It first became a book, then a series, and the basis of the renowned 1964 Disney musical film, which greatly displeased the author. Travers wrote other children’s books as well as books for adults focused on mythology. Early life in Australia Travers was skeptical when she was first approached by Disney in 1945.

But even after serving as a consultant during the production period, she was quite dissatisfied with the final film.
