"That was our curve, our arc," Sherman said. "Travers didn't know what we were talking about. She claimed we were butchering her story. She would listen to the songs but had nothing nice to say about them.

Hehe. She's an idiot. Sherman is right, there isn't a wisp of a story in the series and it makes no sense. Mary comes, Mary causes mischief and is a b.tch about it, Mary disappears, Mary comes back in the next book. Disney turned the mess into a fantastic movie. Feh on Travers.
